How to Prepare for a Springtime Move
March 31, 2022
What a joyous time of year! Spring is incredible. The weather patterns often changing for the better (especially if you live in a region with a real winter). New and fun outdoor activities on the calendar. Fresh buds on the trees, plus flowers and gardens are in bloom. Springtime is a wonderful time to be energized and accomplish so much.
Spring can also be a great season to prepare your home for a move, whether that’s due to a relocation, in the quest for a better cost of living, or to add a little bit more — or less — space for your family. If you’re gearing up to move this season, what are some key factors to consider? Here’s what we suggest you keep in mind.
- The Weather – Fluctuating temperatures, the extra propensity for rain in the forecast, and heavy pollen areas all play a part in selling a home (especially for an open house) as well as in scheduling your moving days. Try to keep your winter-ish wardrobe accessible if you might see some late-season snowfall, too. It might also be a good idea to see your allergist or keep some antihistamine on hand if you’re prone to itchy eyes or a runny nose.
- Spring Cleaning – A deep clean before you move is a must if you’re making a first impression on a buyer in selling a home or trying to earn back your security deposit on a rental unit. This includes tackling the baseboards and window treatments, cleaning carpets, purifying air vents, and freshening up paint. The outside of your house might need some TLC, too. Try to take advantage of seasonable days to tackle outside areas and also add some fresh air to the HVAC mix.
- Spring Décor – From fresh-cut spring flowers like tulips and daffodils to Saint Patrick’s, Easter, or May Day decor … bring out the fanciful spring decorating ideas as you list your home, or in anticipation of a new chapter in life once you’ve moved in to your new place. It could start with a gorgeous spring wreath on the front door, to colorful mason jars on display in the kitchen or bathroom, and end with festive spring pillows on the couch or a bedroom.
Since moving season in general can be quite busy, it’s a good idea to keep it simple and streamline these ideas based on your individual moving style and schedule.
