Moving Out Of Houston

Houston is the most populous city in Texas, with an estimated population of 2.3 million. At about 600 square miles, it’s the ninth-largest city in land size in the United States. That makes it bigger in area than Hong Kong.

Over the past decade, Houston saw a 10 percent population grown because the cost of living is low and the opportunities are plentiful.

However, according to Redfin, a national real estate brokerage, many people are moving out of Houston this year. Of Houstonians who are searching for a new place to live, 26 percent of them are looking to leave the Bayou City.

The number of homes for sale in Houston was up 25 percent in 2020 over the previous year. Home prices were up 7.8 percent in September 2020 compared with the same period in 2019.

Planning Your Long-Distance Move From Houston

When you’re planning a long-distance move, turn to a trusted moving expert, like John Ferguson Moving & Storage. We’ve been in business since 2006, helping renters, homeowners and military families. We look forward to helping you, too.

Long-distance moving presents many potential stressors. We’re here to take them away.

Your move will go smoothly if you’re organized and plan ahead:

• Create checklists for items to do ahead of time.
• Buy plenty of boxes, markers and tape.
• Declutter before you move. You’ll save time and avoid extra stress.

If you’re looking for cheap movers, Houston has a few. But when you’re hiring a mover, always get several estimates, and don’t base your decision on cost alone.

Here are some top questions you should ask any moving company:

• Is the mover a member of the American Trucking Association (ATA)?
• Is the mover fully licensed and insured?
• How long has the mover been in business?
• Does the mover charge extra for stairs?
• Is there a gasoline surcharge on top of the hourly moving rate?

There’s nothing wrong with a company charging for its services, but they should be upfront with you about pricing.

Long-Distance Moving Tips

Whether you are moving across Texas or across the country, planning a move is difficult for everyone. With a state-to-state move, you may not have the opportunity to make several trips to your new home before moving day, as you could with a local move.

These tips from the American Moving & Storage Association will help you organize your move:

1. Confirm your moving date. After the sellers have accepted your offer, it’s time to plan a timeline. It is common to move a few days before the closing.
2. Book a mover. Traditionally, we advise hiring a mover about a month in advance, but if you can, aim for six weeks ahead of the move for best results.
3. Create a schedule. We recommend setting a schedule and creating checklists to keep yourself on task. During a stressful time, you may forget a seemingly insignificant detail, only to realize how important it is.
4. Label boxes. Specific labeling instructions include not just the contents of the box but also which room it belongs in. This will help you move in with less stress.
5. Plan your mode of transportation. If you are moving with pets, it’s best to drive to your destination. Remember, movers can’t move pets.
6. Confirm the move date and details with the mover.
7. Greet the movers. They will get right to work. Be on hand to inventory and in case they have any questions.
8. Unpack and relax. Enjoy your new home!
