Several factors may stall the real housing recovery

Forbe's Thought For the Day  listed some interesting facts which may delay the real recovery for the real estate market.  Probably the one i found the most interesting was that there are 79 million Millenials; people between the ages of 18 and 34.  75 million baby boomers fueled the real estate boom in the late 90's and early 2000's.  The Millenials should have families and be more apt to buy houses in the next 10 years.  This could really fuel a housing boom! Additionally,, with the continued uncertainty of the real estate market now, there are many boomers on the "bubble" where they do want to sell their homes to retire, but hesitate until they think they can get the best return on it.  So, it seems that we might have to wait a while for the real recovery of that market.  Additionally, a number of banks are holding off on placing foreclosures on the market until they feel they can recoup more of their investment. 

We are getting calls from customers that put their moves on hold a year or two ago who have now sold their home.  Some of them had sold their home several times, but the deals fell through due to buyer not qualifying for a mortgage.

Guess we have to expect to hold on and wait for the real recovery.

Second Half of July and August looking better for scheduling moves

Summer should be for relaxing!!

After a brutal May and June, there seems to be some availability right now for getting moves scheduled the second half of July.  We are able to find some dates with some van lines earlier, but very sporadic based on location and date. 

For moves during the next several weeks, expect to get only one estimate if we find a mover with an open date.  If you are moving after the middle of July and contact us now, we can get more than one estimate.  So, do not procrastinate in calling us to get started if you are moving in July or early August!

If you are moving this summer call NOW to get the ground work completed!

Considering the previous posting about date restrictions, we actually see some windows in July.  Most of our carriers do have availability in the second half of the month, with some earlier.  So if you plan to move in July or even August you need to get started with CRS now even if you do not have exact dates in mind, 

Thus, we can get your moving estimates completed, and your move lined up ahead of time.  Then book the dates you are looking for at the point when you can determine what will be best.  But, you should get the ground work done now with us. 

Call today to speak with a Consultant who will find out more about your move, schedule up to 3 estimates with separate carriers,  compare the estimates for you and assist you in making a selection.  Then book your move when you know your moving dates.

Update on booking and loading move dates

We see some opening up of availability for our moves in July.  We have been able to accommodate some customers wanting to move in June on a case by case basis.  Just this morning, a person being moved by a corporation who has 5 contracts direct with van lines was unable to move an employee the end of this month.  They called us and we were able to fit them in on one of our movers trucks.  We do work directly with local agents who may be able to assist even in "black out" dates where as many corporate contracts just deal with one agent, and the van line.  This provides us the ability to go deeper into a van lines agent structure to seek out available space on trucks that may be dispatched around the country on a "self haul" move.
Best advice, give us a call if you are in need of a mover and having difficult finding one can work with you on your moving dates.  Call 802-824-3496 and ask to speak with a Consultant or go to www.consumersrelocation.com
