Thinking of relocating to Denver? The time of year you move can impact your costs, stress levels, and even housing availability. Here’s a seasonal breakdown of what to expect so you can plan your Denver move like a local.

Spring (March–May)

Spring in Denver means warming temps and blooming trees—but it also means unpredictable weather. One day it’s sunny, the next it snows. That said, moving companies start ramping up, and housing inventory begins to rise. It’s a good time if you want some flexibility in options without peak-season prices.

Summer (June–August)

Summer is peak moving season in Denver. Schools are out, jobs ramp up, and most rentals turn over during these months. Expect higher moving costs, more traffic, and hotter weather (mid-80s to 90s). However, it’s also when you’ll find the most inventory, especially for rentals and home listings.

Fall (September–November)

Fall is often overlooked, but it’s one of the best times to move. Prices for movers drop, availability increases, and the weather is still mild—think crisp air and golden leaves. Bonus: you’ll be settled before the holiday season.

Winter (December–February)

Winter moves are the cheapest and often the easiest to schedule. However, snowstorms and icy roads are a reality. If you’re prepared, this can be a cost-effective and calm time to relocate. Just be ready for potential weather delays. Check the local forecast before moving: https://www.weather.gov/bou/ (Denver Weather Forecast).

Our Recommendation

If you want the widest choice of homes or rentals, summer is best. For a cheaper, low-stress experience, aim for fall or early spring. Winter is best for bargain hunters who don’t mind the cold.
