New school, new friends, new wardrobe, new backpack, new home! Summer's a great time to make a move and here are 10 reasons why!

1) Kids will start off on a fresh foot. Schedules are not uprooted mid-year.
2) Explore the community! Take the last couple weeks of summer after your move to learn about your community, meet new friends, and get comfortable.
3) More time to enjoy your new home and community with your family. With school activities ceased and organized sports not as busy, take advantage of quality family time.
4) Purging... Summer is the best time to declutter, have a garage sale & prepare for your move.
5) Block parties and neighbourhood BBQ's are often held at the end of the school year. If you're lucky enough to land in a neighbourhood that celebrates, it's a wonderful time to get out and meet everyone.
6) Seasonal employment is at a peak. If your teenagers are looking for any part time work, they can take advantage of the many job postings that come up in the summer.
7) Potentially lower moving costs... The trucks don’t have to warm up or run as long, roads aren't treacherous, and overall it's a more enjoyable experience for your movers.
8) Know what kind of yard that comes with the house! Is there grass? Does it need a little bit of TLC? Don't be fooled by the snow – buy your home in the summer.
9) More daylight hours to move, or work on any household projects. Bring on the vitamin D, it's motivating!
10) Two words: NO SNOW!
