Lots of people are taking advantage of working remotely. 2020 has become the ideal time to have a career that you love and live where you want. The best part of working remotely is that you may have to commute to the office once in a while, enabling you to live anywhere. Many people are seizing the opportunity to escape Toronto GTA, make some money, and move to a new location like Hamilton.
We asked our moving professionals for some tips for packing and moving to your new ideal home.
The ideal place to move
When deciding to relocate, the first thing you should do is find the ideal area to move to. The main idea is to find a new home that gives you more than your last, which costs less. Allowing you to save some money or add more equity.
We recommend that you do lots of research and learn about the local area and culture of your considering moving. An ideal place would be one with easy access to highways, public transit, and commuter trains like the GO. Ensure you also check other important information like the quality of life, school ratings, crime statistics, etc. Find a local real estate agent to help you find the best neighbourhoods to live in. They will have lots of essential tips and information to share. See our Hamilton guide.
Estimated Costs of Living
Investigating the costs of living in your desired location is wise, and comparing it to where you live now is wise. The cost of living can differ, depending on the salaries and region of choice. If you move to a popular area, you could pay more for housing and everyday essentials. The ideal option is to choose an area with a lower cost of living. A local real estate professional can help you find those stats.
Having the Right Moving Budget
It’s highly recommended that you have a moving budget. Planning starts with getting a few estimates. Don’t settle for verbal estimates over the phone, and ask for in-home ones. That will ensure the prices will remain the same. Many professional movers will try to work with a realistic moving budget.
Here are some expenses to plan for when budgeting:
- Meals
- Utilities set up fees and deposits
- Down payments and fees
- The fee associated with your move
- Storage fees
- Extras

This includes professional packing services, disassembly, wrapping, moving, reassembly, and unpacking. Moving companies are equipped with everything you need to help ensure that your move is easy. Ask many questions to determine insurance coverage and what happens if something gets damaged. We recommend choosing the value a moving company brings over the savings costs. The cheapest movers could end up costing you more in the end.
