The single busiest moving window of the year starts this week. Families wait until school lets out and they need to be settled before August orientation. That gives you roughly 10 weeks to find a home, close, pack, and unpack.
If you are one of those families, the time to start is not when school ends. It is right now.
Here is why. Pre-approval takes a week. Finding the right home takes 2 to 4 weeks in a normal market. Closing takes 30 to 45 days. That math alone eats your entire summer if you wait.
What to do this week: Get pre-approved if you have not already. Decide on your must-have neighborhoods. Have an honest conversation with your family about timing. Line up your current home for sale if you are selling too.
If you are thinking about a summer move and have not started yet, send me a message today. I can help you work the timeline backward so you land where you want to land before the first day of school.
