How Long Does It Take to Move?
Moving can be an overwhelming event. Fixing up your home, finding an agent, listing your home, keeping the house clean for showings, negotiating offers, and signing the thick stack of paperwork is just the tip of the iceberg. Then you need to carefully pack up your belongings and move them to your new home.
Gathering supplies, decluttering, and carefully packing items can be a huge headache. When you’re already stressed about moving, the last thing you feel like doing is spending all your spare time packing up. Luckily, Peavler Moving and Storage is here to help!
How Long Does It Take to Pack for a Move?
Although it can vary significantly, an average three-bedroom American home takes 40 to 60 hours to pack up. Devoting two hours after work each day to packing would take 3-4 weeks to pack up your belongings. That’s a huge time commitment, especially when many other moving-related tasks still need to be done.
On the other hand, professional movers can accomplish this same packing job in just two days! Professional movers like Peavler Moving and Storage can save you significant time, effort, and energy by taking care of your packing.
How Far In Advance Should I Plan for a Move?
There are many moving parts in relocation, and the more time you can give yourself, the better. Sometimes a long runway isn’t possible, but in the majority of situations, once you know you’ll be moving, you should start planning immediately.
A few factors can impact when you really start to put things into motion. For instance:
- Long-distance moves take longer than local moves because of additional travel and planning times. You should aim for a long-distance move to take six months.
- Local moves are much simpler and generally need less planning. However, for moving day to run smoothly, you should allot four to six weeks for a local move.
- Peak moving season is during the summer, and especially at the end of the month. If you are also trying to move during the summer or at the end of a month, you should schedule your movers sooner rather than later to secure your spot.
