Are you wondering when is the best time to move in Minnesota? Is it cheaper to move in winter? How much do movers cost in the Twin Cities? And what mistakes should you avoid when relocating?

In this episode of Minnesota Living with Lana, I interview Scott Dillon, Moving Coordinator with AAA Movers, to break down everything you need to know about moving to Minnesota or moving within the Twin Cities metro area.

We cover:

• The best month to move in Minnesota
• Winter vs. summer moving in MN
• Peak moving season in the Twin Cities
• Average cost of hiring movers in Minnesota
• How far in advance you should book movers
• Moving during snow and extreme cold
• Relocation planning tips for out-of-state buyers
• Common moving mistakes families make
• Smart strategies for upsizing, downsizing, and luxury home transitions

If you’re relocating to Minnesota, buying a new construction home, upgrading to a larger property, downsizing, or planning a luxury move, timing and logistics can impact your budget, stress level, and overall experience.

This episode gives you real-world insight from both a local real estate advisor and a professional moving coordinator — so you can plan your Minnesota move with confidence.
