The Best Month of the Year to Move: Is Summer the Ideal Season?

Summer: The Prime Time for Relocation?

The Parisian real estate market dances to the rhythm of the seasons. Most families with children seize the summer school holidays to relocate, ensuring they’re settled before the school year starts in September.
According to INSEE’s 2019 data, there’s a distinct seasonality in the real estate transaction market. The volume of transactions and relocations spikes during the summer months. Typically, the final sales act is signed about three months post the initial sales agreement. This indicates that the bulk of transactions finalize between April and June. The rejuvenating spirit of spring and the end of winter also play a role. This seasonal shift positively impacts household morale, fueling desires to progress with their plans.

Why should you plan your move during summer?
  • Beneficial for children: Moving in the summer is advantageous for your kids. They’re on vacation and can start fresh in a new school come September. Transitioning during the holidays often feels less abrupt.
  • More time on hand: Your children likely have summer activities lined up. This gives you more bandwidth to focus on the move.
  • Peace of mind: Managing or coordinating a move feels less stressful during the summer. However, remember that for a summer move, preparations should begin in spring. Also, moving costs tend to be higher during this peak season.
  • Longer, brighter days: Summer days are longer, and the weather is generally more conducive to change and new beginnings.
  • Ideal for renovations: If you’re considering renovations or refurbishments in your new home, summer is a popular time for such projects in Paris.
  • Spring cleaning: Allocate a day or two for a thorough cleaning before moving in. The advantage? Your new place isn’t furnished yet, making cleaning tasks more straightforward. Ideally, hire a specialized cleaning company that offers a comprehensive service. This ensures your new home is spick and span before you move in. Starting afresh in a pristine apartment is the perfect way to kick off the new season!
