Moving This Summer? Here’s What You Should Know About Moving in Peak Season.
If you’re planning a move this summer, you’re not alone, and you’re definitely not early. Summer 2025 is shaping up to be one of the busiest moving seasons in years. As rising interest rates and record-high home prices push more people toward renting instead of buying, demand for moving services is soaring right along with it.
Whether you're moving across Cleveland or relocating to a new rental in another city, here's what to expect this summer, and how Armbruster Moving & Storage can help make it a smoother experience.
Why Everyone’s Moving This Summer
Summer has always been the most popular time to move. School's out, the weather's better, and leases often turn over mid-year. But this year, there's another big factor driving the surge: renting is now more popular than buying.
According to a recent article from HousingWire, rental competition is at an all-time high. Listings are being scooped up in just over two weeks, and with fewer new rental units coming to market, people are acting fast, and often moving quickly to secure a place. That means movers, trucks, and storage units are booking up faster than usual.
Planning a Summer Move? Here's What to Keep in Mind
Book early.
The earlier you can schedule your move, the better. Summer dates fill up fast, and many moving companies, including ours, are already seeing a packed calendar.
Stay flexible.
If your schedule allows, aim for a mid-week or mid-month move. Most people move at the beginning or end of the month, so shifting your date even slightly could help with both availability and cost.
Think ahead about storage.
In a competitive rental market, timing doesn't always line up perfectly. We offer short-term and long-term storage options if your new place isn't quite ready when you are.
Beat the heat.
Summer in Northeast Ohio can be hot and humid. We recommend early morning moves to stay ahead of the heat, for both you and your belongings.
