What Are the Benefits of Leasing a New Home Before the Holidays?

Tyra Douyon • Sep 26, 2023

Do you need to sign a new lease before the year ends? It can be challenging to consider a move in the last few months of the year. Most people associate this time with relaxation, festive decorations, and gatherings with loved ones, so packing all your belongings might sound like a huge undertaking. However, there are great benefits of moving during the holidays that make it a smart decision. Whether you’re coming from another apartment, moving out of a home, or relocating to Alabama for a fresh start, our new move-in-ready homes at Patton Crest community are just what you’ve been looking for! 


You can enjoy the relaxation of a warm and inviting new space as you welcome the season's festivities and look forward to ringing in the New Year in your amazing new space! And when you settle in at
Patton Crest, our for-lease single-family home neighborhood near Hoover, AL,  the process is easier than ever. Fairin Realty has compiled five key reasons why relocating during this season can make your move a memorable and pleasant experience!

Time Off From Work 

One of the advantages of moving during the holidays is that many people have time off from work and other responsibilities. Most businesses and schools close for at least a few days, giving you the perfect opportunity to tackle your move without taking additional time off. This means you won't have to worry about rushing the process or adjusting the move to fit your busy schedule. You can take your time, plan carefully, and minimize stress.


Fewer Scheduling Conflicts

Moving companies and rental services are more available during the holiday season. Most families relocate during the traditional moving season—between late April to early September (before Labor Day)—and many individuals postpone their moves until after the New Year. Because of this, you'll likely have an easier time securing the services you need if you move now. This increased availability can result in more flexible scheduling options and potentially lower costs. Plus, with less demand for moving services, you can choose your preferred date and time more easily.


Festive Atmosphere

You might love moving during this time of year. The holiday season brings a warm and festive atmosphere to your new home that can make the transition more exciting. You can decorate your new space with holiday lights, ornaments, and a beautiful tree, instantly making it feel like home. It's an excellent opportunity to create cherished memories with your family and start new traditions in your new surroundings. The cozy and welcoming ambiance of the season can help ease the stress of moving and foster a positive experience. Because Patton Crest is a new for-lease single-family community, your neighbors will also be moving into the neighborhood for the first time. This means you can look forward to the spirit of the season and holiday decor as everyone strives to make their new house feel like a home.

Helpful Friends and Family

During the holidays, friends and family are often more readily available to assist with your move. Many people have time off work and tend to be more receptive to helping others during the season. Enlist the aid of loved ones to make the process more enjoyable and efficient. If you want to go the extra mile, skip the pizza order and turn your move into a fun experience by offering holiday treats and drinks in your new kitchen at Patton Crest as a token of appreciation for their assistance. 


Fresh Start for the New Year

Moving during the holidays provides an excellent opportunity to start fresh in the upcoming year. You can declutter and organize your belongings before the move, ensuring that only your favorite and most cherished items are brought along when you move to your new home. By the time the holidays are over, you'll have settled into your new space, and you can begin the year with a clean slate, setting the stage for a positive and productive year ahead.
