November presents a unique opportunity for California residents planning long-distance moves. While most people avoid moving during the fall and winter months, smart movers recognize that November offers distinct advantages—from better availability and rates to ideal timing for settling into a new home before the holiday season.
Executive Moving Systems has spent over 40 years helping Orange County and Los Angeles families, businesses, and military personnel successfully relocate across the country and around the world. As a certified North American Van Lines Agent and RIM International certified company, we understand exactly what it takes to execute seamless November relocations from Southern California.
Whether you’re moving for career advancement, cost of living relief, military orders, or lifestyle changes, this comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about leaving California in November 2025.
Why November is Actually Perfect for Long-Distance Moves
The Off-Season Sweet Spot
November sits comfortably in the moving industry’s off-season (October through April), when demand drops significantly after the summer rush. Here’s what this means for your relocation:
Superior Availability Summer months book up weeks or months in advance. November offers flexible scheduling with your preferred dates. Need a specific delivery window? November makes it possible.
Better Rates Than Peak Season Peak summer moving costs can be 30-40% higher than off-season rates. November pricing reflects lower demand, providing better value without compromising service quality.
More Personalized Attention Professional moving crews can dedicate more time to your relocation when they’re not juggling multiple peak-season moves. You receive the focused service your move deserves.
Ideal November Weather California enjoys pleasant November weather—70s during the day, no extreme heat. Most destination states maintain comfortable fall conditions, avoiding both summer heat and deep winter challenges.
Strategic Holiday Timing Move in early-to-mid November and you’ll be settled before Thanksgiving. Host family in your new home. Start holiday traditions in your new community. Begin 2025 already established in your new location.
November Moving Timeline: When to Schedule Your Move
Early November (November 1-15): The Prime Window
Best for:
- Families wanting to settle before Thanksgiving
- Business relocations needing year-end completion
- Anyone seeking maximum flexibility
Advantages:
- Full month ahead for unpacking and settling
- Avoid Thanksgiving week entirely

Thanksgiving Week (November 22-28): Proceed with Caution
Why We Generally Don’t Recommend It:
- Moving companies often have reduced availability
- Transportation challenges with holiday traffic
- Difficulty scheduling utilities and services
- Family obligations and travel conflicts
- Less time to settle before holiday entertaining
When It Makes Sense:
- Military PCS orders requiring specific dates
- Job start dates immediately after Thanksgiving
- Real estate transaction timing that can’t be adjusted
If You Must Move This Week:
- Book as early as possible (September/October)
- Expect limited availability
- Plan for potential delays
- Have flexible backup plans
Late November (November 29-30): Year-End Push
Best for:
- Last-minute relocations before winter weather
- Taking advantage of remaining off-season availability
- December 1st job start dates
Advantages:
- Still November rates and availability
- Avoid December winter weather challenges
- Enter December already relocated

November Moving: Special Considerations & Tips
Thanksgiving Week Strategy
If You Must Move During Thanksgiving Week:
Book Early Start planning in September or October. Availability during Thanksgiving week is extremely limited. Early booking is essential.
Communication is Key Confirm dates multiple times. Ensure everyone (movers, utilities, real estate agents) understands holiday timing complications.
Have Backup Plans Weather delays, traffic issues, and service availability can affect Thanksgiving week moves. Build flexibility into your timeline.
Consider Split Timing Load before Thanksgiving, deliver after. This allows you to celebrate the holiday while your belongings are in transit.
Simplify Holiday Plans If moving during Thanksgiving week, simplify celebrations. Consider restaurant dining or visiting family instead of hosting.
Weather Considerations for November
California Departure Weather November California weather is typically excellent—70s during the day, comfortable for loading. Rain is possible but infrequent. Our crews monitor weather forecasts and plan accordingly.
Destination Weather Varies:
- Southwest (AZ, NV, NM): Excellent November weather, 60s-70s
- Texas: Comfortable fall weather, 60s-70s, occasional rain
- Mountain States (CO, UT, ID): Cooler, possibility of early winter weather
- Southeast (NC, TN, FL): Pleasant fall conditions, 60s-70s
- Pacific Northwest (WA, OR): Rainy season begins, 50s-60s
- Northeast: Cooler, possibility of early winter weather
Weather Preparedness:
- We monitor weather along entire route
- Equipment ready for various conditions
- Protective coverings for rain and snow
- Experienced drivers trained for all weather
- Communication about potential delays
Holiday Coordination Tips
Timing Your Move Around Holidays:
Best Practice – Move Early November Complete your move by November 15th. This provides two weeks to settle before Thanksgiving, allowing you to:
- Unpack essential rooms
- Set up beds and bathrooms
- Establish kitchen functionality
- Explore your new community
- Prepare to host if desired
If Moving Mid-November Focus on essentials first. Don’t pressure yourself to unpack everything before Thanksgiving. Prioritize:
- Bedrooms for sleeping
- One bathroom fully functional
- Kitchen basics for meal prep
- Living area for gathering
Embrace Paper Plates No shame in using disposable items for Thanksgiving if you’ve just moved. Your family cares about being together, not fine china.
School Considerations for Family Moves
November School Timing:
Early November Moves Most schools have settled into routines by November. Moving early in the month allows children to establish themselves before Thanksgiving break, then return to school with peers.
Academic Coordination:
- Request transcripts before leaving California
- Contact new schools before moving
- Understand curriculum differences
- Plan for adjustment period
- Consider tutoring if needed
Social Adjustment: November moves give children the entire school year to establish friendships and adjust to new environments before summer break.
Year-End Financial Planning
Tax Considerations:
Moving Expense Tracking While moving expenses are no longer tax-deductible for most people (changed in 2018 tax law), military members moving due to PCS orders can still deduct certain expenses. Keep detailed records.
What to Track:
- All moving company invoices
- Transportation costs
- Temporary lodging expenses
- Storage fees
- Mileage if driving your own vehicle
Year-End Home Sale Timing Selling your California home in November may affect your 2025 tax situation. Consult with tax professionals about:
- Capital gains implications
- Timing of sale vs. purchase
- Property tax considerations
- State income tax for partial-year residents
Fresh Start for 2025 Moving in November means you enter January already established in your new location. File taxes in your new state, establish new residency, and begin the new year settled.

Frequently Asked Questions: November Moving from California
Is November really a good time to move long-distance?
Yes, November is an excellent time for long-distance moves. Off-season advantages include better availability, competitive rates compared to summer peak, comfortable weather nationwide, and the opportunity to settle before holidays. The only week to avoid is Thanksgiving week itself (November 22-28), when moving services are limited and holiday conflicts arise.
How much does a long-distance move from Orange County to another state cost in November?
Costs depend on distance, weight, services, and specific requirements. A typical 3-bedroom home from Orange County to Texas ranges $8,000-$12,000. Four-bedroom homes to East Coast destinations: $12,000-$18,000. We provide detailed written estimates after in-home surveys with no obligation.
Can I move during Thanksgiving week?
While possible, we generally don’t recommend it due to limited availability, holiday traffic complications, and family obligation conflicts. If you must move during Thanksgiving week, book by early October and maintain flexible backup plans. Consider split timing (loading before the holiday, delivery after).
What’s the difference between moving in November versus October?
Both months are off-season with similar advantages. November adds holiday timing considerations—particularly Thanksgiving week. October typically has slightly more flexibility and fewer holiday complications. Both months offer significantly better value than summer peak season.
How long does a cross-country move take in November?
Transit times vary by distance:
- California to Arizona/Nevada: 3-5 days
- California to Texas/Colorado: 5-7 days
- California to East Coast: 7-10 days
- California to Southeast: 7-10 days
November weather is generally favorable, minimizing delays compared to summer storms or winter snow.
What can’t be moved in a long-distance move?
Prohibited items include hazardous materials (paint, gasoline, propane, cleaning chemicals), perishable food, plants (many states have restrictions), pets (require separate transport), and ammunition. We provide a complete list during consultation.
Do you provide storage if my new home isn’t ready?
Yes, we offer secure, climate-controlled storage in Anaheim for any duration. Many November moves involve temporary storage while waiting for new homes to close or become available. Short-term and long-term options accommodate various situations.
How do I prepare my home for November moving day?
Standard preparation applies: clear pathways, disconnect appliances, empty drawers, prepare parking access. November-specific: have doorway mats ready for potential wet weather, protect floors if rain is forecasted, communicate any access issues if rain affects your property.
Can you coordinate my move with my real estate closing?
Absolutely. We regularly coordinate with real estate agents, escrow companies, and closing schedules. Our flexibility helps keep transactions on track. Communicate your closing dates early so we can plan accordingly.
What insurance coverage should I have for my move?
We strongly recommend full-value protection for long-distance moves. Basic carrier liability covers only $0.60 per pound—inadequate for most belongings. Full-value protection ensures proper compensation for damaged or lost items. We explain all coverage options during consultation.
