Best Times of Year to Move in Westchester (and How to Save Money)

Timing is everything—especially when it comes to moving in Westchester County. Whether you're relocating from one town to another or making the leap from NYC to the suburbs, when you move can affect your stress level, scheduling, and most importantly—your wallet.

At AM-PM Super Movers, we’ve been helping families and professionals move across Westchester for years. Here’s what you need to know about the best times to move—plus expert tips on how to save money during your move.

🗓️ The Best Time of Year to Move in Westchester

1. Late Fall (October–November)

Why it’s great: The summer rush is over, the weather is still manageable, and schedules are more flexible.
💰 Bonus: Movers often have more availability, and pricing can be more competitive.

2. Early Spring (March–April)

Why it’s great: Avoid the summer surge. Spring weather means easier moves without extreme temps.
💡 Tip: Book early—this season starts to pick up fast, especially for families planning summer moves.

3. Winter (December–February)

Why it’s great: Winter is Westchester’s off-season, so you’ll likely get the best rates.
⚠️ Considerations: Snow and icy roads are possible. Make sure you hire experienced local movers (we’ve got you covered).

4. Summer (June–August)

🌟 Most popular time to move, especially for families with school-age kids.
⚠️ Heads up: Demand is highest, so book 6+ weeks in advance. Prices may be higher due to demand, but it offers more daylight and school-year convenience.

🕐 Best Time of Month to Move

  • Mid-month moves (10th–20th) are often less expensive than beginning or end-of-month moves.

  • Weekdays (Monday–Thursday) can also be cheaper than weekends.

Avoid the 1st and 30th/31st—those are the busiest days due to lease transitions.

💸 Money-Saving Tips for Your Westchester Move

1. Move During Off-Peak Season

If your schedule is flexible, moving in winter or early spring can lead to significant savings.

2. Declutter Before You Move

Fewer items = smaller truck, fewer labor hours, and lower overall cost. Donate, sell, or toss anything you don’t need.

3. Pack Yourself—Or Use Bin Rentals

Save on full-service packing by doing it yourself. Or rent our eco-friendly moving bins—they’re reusable, stackable, and more affordable than buying boxes.

4. Be Ready on Moving Day

Delays = extra costs. Make sure everything is packed, labeled, and ready to go when the movers arrive.

5. Get a Flat-Rate Estimate

Ask your movers (like us!) if they offer flat-rate or not-to-exceed pricing—so there are no surprises.
