In South Texas, Summer is a splendid season when school is out, time is plenty, and development is constant. If you are planning to make a move, deciding to move may be a little bit stressful for both you and your family. Although getting into a new home can be exciting, it will take some time to get things situated from one place to the next. Therefore, by making a move during the summer, the kids should be out on break making the move a little easier, and who knows, having extra pairs of hands-on deck can alleviate some of the moving.

Something to consider while moving in time for summer may include the home purchasing timeline. Generally, the closing process may take anywhere from 30-45 days, therefore, it may be wise to get the ball rolling around May. This allows you the time to get pre-approved, look at homes, place and negotiate an offer, and finish the closing process. More on that HERE.

Another thing to consider is searching for the perfect school and/or workplace. If you’re coming in from out of state, WELCOME! The May to June time frame may be beneficial to you as schools are still in session, leaving you to shop around for the perfect district for those kiddos. Similarly, it may help you find your perfect career in the area. If you are a local, this time frame allows you to transition your kids from one district to the next starting them off comfortably at the beginning of the school year versus mid-year where it may be more difficult to settle in.
