Mid-September to early November and January to March could be ideal times to move to Orlando as there are fewer tourists, bringing down rent and property prices. This could be beneficial if you are renting and trying out new areas before you buy your dream home. You’ll want to avoid moving during hurricane season which is August to October to avoid any risk of delays as well as stormy weather. Between June and August could benefit families wanting to avoid disruption to school term time, but be aware this is the hottest part of the year. Ultimately, the best time to move to Orlando will depend on your preferences and circumstances. We can get you moved to Orlando at any time of the year!
To get you quickly and safely moved to Orlando, we’ll need you to provide us with some important documents. We’ll help you complete some essential forms and make sure you have everything you need for the move. Documents we need include:
