To enjoy the adventures that await you in the Bay area, you need planning. And timing is a critical part of that.
What time of the day should you come here? What day of the week is favorable for a move? What month is best? Those are a few of the questions you should ask. But in the end, your move largely depends on your budget and your plan. That said, this article can help you to move at the most affordable price by targeting cost-friendly times.
What Time Of The Day Should You Move?
Whatever you do, don’t move to the Bay Area in the morning. Why?
According to the Bay Area Census, the population here is over 7 million. About 23.5% of the figures are young individuals (aged 25-34) working at the various tech companies in the region. With such numbers going to work in the morning, the road will be crowded. Worse: you’d get stuck in traffic, and that could be suffocating.
Instead of mornings, move in the afternoon. Since the working class will be at work already there will be little to no traffic. You could also try evening moves. However, we wouldn’t advise such time for large families as evening moves tend to put a lot more stress on the kids. So, stick to the early afternoons.
What Day Is Best?
When most people are thinking about moving they usually have their mind set on a weekend move. Unfortunately, that’s what everybody will usually pick. For that reason, you should avoid weekends.
For starters, there would be more traffic than usual due to the people visiting, on vacation and moving as well. Furthermore, movers’ pricing could be higher for weekend moves. The reason for that is because there are usually many people like you that would want a Friday/Saturday/Sunday move too.
So, what should you do?
Move on Tuesday or Wednesday. Few people are moving on such days. In other words, you’d get better pricing and less traffic.
What Month/Season Should You Move?
Indeed, the weather conditions in the Bay Area are favorable year-round. Nevertheless, the winter has fewer activities. And for movers, they get less work then in the winter which could mean better, affordable rates for you.
So, back to the question of when to move to the Bay Area?
Move in the afternoon, on a Tuesday or Wednesday, and try to plan your moves between mid-september through April as you will avoid the peak moving seasons which usually begin in the late spring, stretching through the summer.
For a more comfortable experience, you can sell off your old furniture. Most importantly, hire an expert moving company that knows the ins and outs of the Bay Area.
