(PRWEB) September 30, 2005 -- As winter approaches, Moving Resources is preparing for some of the busiest moving weeks of the year. Last year, Moving resources saw a 22 percent increase in new home buying during the month of October, as many consumers planned moves. With cold days right around the bend people are looking to sell there old homes fast and get moved into there new ones quicker, Moving Resources has launched a new simple online information center to streamline the moving process for consumers and provide an efficient ordering process for utility hook-ups.
Through partnerships with utility and product vendors, The Moving Resources site is loaded with information to guide consumers with the routine and often time-consuming tasks associated with moving- everything from finding a new home or apartment, to scheduling a moving company and setting up phone service and other utilities in a new home - all with a visit to a single Web site location.
A recent Moving Resource poll found that 23 percent of Americans would rather setup there utilities from home online in one swoop. "The Moving Resource is great for people who need to get there home setup before they move in. It helps save time and money by connecting people involved in the same experience," said Brendon Schenecker, President, Moving Resources.
"By going to one site where you can find everything you?re looking for, or be reminded of the things that you may have forgotten. Movers are going through enough stress from changing homes; this provides a quick and easy way to get all the little things done sooner."
More than 40 million wired Americans - one-third of all Internet users - went online last year to search for houses or apartments, according to Pew Internet & American Life Project. The Moving Resources Site will help guide consumers through every detail of a move with free online resources, including:
Your New City and Home: Organize "To-Do's" before, during and after a move with the site's check list. Location Guides help movers find population reports, complete with statistics on a city's size, cost of living and neighborhood crime statistics.
