May is National Moving Month and that usually means a clean out and clean up as well.
May can be a busy month as the summer season unofficially kicks off. It’s a month of wrapping up the school year, graduations, weddings and the start of 
lots of outdoor activities. And in the midst of all this, don’t forget to celebrate mom on May 10th, because that’s Mother’s Day.

May’s warmer weather also gets the roadways, trails and waterways bustling, especially during Memorial Day weekend (May 23rd-25th). It is the unofficial start to summer fun in the Charlotte, NC area. It’s also the height of moving season. More people sell their homes or relocate this month than any other time of year.
For those selling and moving, this is an even busier time. They are taking care of their current home — including the prepping that comes with selling — and thinking about their new place. Both properties may need a good cleaning. For all your exterior cleaning needs, Camelot Pressure Washing can make 
your old and new place look like new.

Below are some suggestions for selling your home and moving in 2026.
Key to-dos when selling your home and moving
When people move, they often pack up everything and then realize most of the stuff is not needed in the new place. For graduates moving out, it’s pretty easy to know what to take and what to leave behind for the parents to deal with. For families relocating, it’s often about cleansing the clutter of the past and moving on to something newer and better. But what to take?A way to avoid that question being asked every time you pick up something during the move is to make a list of what you need in the new place. Pack that up first. What does not need to be moved, sell, donate or toss it.
Experts advise sellers to take a few important steps to impress potential buyers. Even in this tight market, the seller may be competing with several other sellers. Those steps include:
Pressure wash siding, sidewalks and decks- Mow the lawn, edge and trim the hedges, add mulch to flower beds
- Repaint the front door and mailbox
- Update the lighting fixtures inside and outside the house
- Order a rental dumpster
- Remove all clutter from inside your home (short-term storage unit rental)
- Deep clean the home’s interior
NOTE: You can use the list above as conditions for what should be done in your new home before signing on the dotted line.
