The real estate market in Arizona is always changing, but the moving season stays consistent. Whether you're buying or selling a home, you can count on seeing big changes in the market around this time of year. The fall months are always busy for both new and experienced movers (and sellers). But how do you know which season is best for your move?

You Can’t Go Wrong Moving in the Spring

Moving in the spring is a no-brainer. The weather is nice, it's not too hot or too cold, and there are plenty of sunny days. Springtime also happens to be the best time of year for home sales and purchases. If you're looking for a new place to live in Arizona, this could be your chance!

Fall Weather Is Amazing in Arizona

Moving to Arizona in the fall can be a great choice for you. The weather is mild and comfortable, making it easy to pack up your belongings and get settled into your new place. Fall also has some beautiful foliage that will make your move feel even more special!

If you're moving from out of state, you must know what kind of weather conditions are common during each season in Arizona. Here's what we recommend based on our own experience:

  • Summer (June through September) - Hot! Be prepared with lots of water bottles and sunscreen if you plan on being outside during these months; even though it may not feel like it now, summer temperatures can be brutal! These days can also have nasty monsoons, which are rainstorms to the max. Make sure your move doesn't coincide with one of these multi-day storms!

  • Spring - Pleasant! If you're from out of town, our 80-degree spring can still be a lot, but it's breezy and delightful out. You should keep an eye on the few days of rain we have in the spring to make sure it doesn't line up with your move!

  • Fall - Chill, but possibly rainy. After the monsoon season, there may be a few days of light rain, but nothing that should impact a move. Keep an eye on your weather app, but you won't even need a jacket until December most years.

  • Winter - A surprisingly great time to move. In most of Arizona, you won't have to worry about snow or rain for most of the winter, if at all. It gets cold enough to frost a car in the mornings, but an afternoon spent moving wouldn't be bad at all! Grab a jacket, and maybe some gloves, but enjoy moving in 60 degrees, sometimes even hotter!

Spring Real Estate Trends Don’t Always Match Up With Fall Trends.

The spring season is typically a good time to sell your home, but it's not the best time for buyers. Many people who are looking to move tend to wait until after the holidays when they can take advantage of lower prices and more options on the market.

On the other hand, fall is a great season for buying because fewer people are looking at homes during this time and sellers are more willing to negotiate on price since they want their house sold before winter arrives in Arizona (and elsewhere).

Moving Day Is Still Busy, but the Fall Moving Season Is Huge.

Moving day is still a busy time for most moving companies, but the fall moving season is even bigger. If you're looking to move to Arizona during the spring or summer, you may find it difficult to schedule a move with a local company--they'll likely be booked up until November or December.

However, if you want to make sure your belongings are safely delivered at the end of October or the beginning of November (or even later), then this can be a good time for them because there will be fewer students moving in and out of college dorms as well as fewer people buying new homes with their families in tow.

Conclusion

Moving to Arizona is a great experience no matter what time of year you do it.
