In particular, interstate move requests were lower in March 2020, a 26 percent decrease, and April 2020, a 31 percent decrease, than 2019 data. However, moving interest in Sept. 2020 was notably higher than the previous year by 32 percent which indicated a shift in peak moving season, which typically occurs in late spring and early summer.United Van Lines' study&nbsp;also revealed higher outbound move requests from New York City and San Francisco as compared to nationwide averages. While outbound move requests from New York were down 1 percent from the national average in April 2020, outbound interest from the state jumped to 55 percent above the average in May 2020. At the end of Aug. 2020, outbound move requests from New York were 52 percent higher than the national average. In San Francisco, outbound move requests steadily increased from 3 percent above the national average in July 2020 to 128 percent by the beginning of September.Read more about the survey on United Van Lines' website .Copyright 2020 WFSB (Meredith Corporation).
