Premiere Ft Myers Moving Company – 239-561-6300

In recent news, your Fort Myers movers are happy to report that mortgage rates hit the lowest level since 2015. This not only makes relocating the west coast of the Sunshine State that much easier, but also makes finding your dream home much more relaxing.

When it specifically comes to Fort Myers mortgage rates, the average rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage fell to 3.59 percent, while the average rate on a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage fell to 2.88 percent. Even more promising, Bankrate.com reported that almost half of all of the experts polled this week predicted that rates will fall even more over the short term.

Fort Myers movers expect to see plenty more people reserving dates this spring in order to get settled into their new home, meaning that it is that much more important to stay up to date with the Fort Myers housing market. Currently, the median sales price for a home in Fort Myers is $179,700, with the average price per square foot for Fort Myers homes coming in at $126.

If the recent news about the decrease in Fort Myers mortgage rates is not enough information to persuade you to sign on the dotted line and commit to a new home, then take into consideration the following facts:

– The median age of Fort Myers residents is 46 years old.

– 97% of locals commute by car.

– The average household income is $44,551.

– 72% of Fort Myers residents are home owners.

It’s that time of year – spring training in Fort Myers! And if you’re like our local Fort Myers movers, you’re probably planning on spending quite a few afternoons scouting your favorite players on the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins baseball teams.

Whether you’re new to the game or a spring training vet, All My Sons Moving & Storage of Fort Myers has the scoop on what you need to know about spring training.

Get there early. By getting to the field early, you’ll not only beat traffic but also have a chance to catch the players’ batting practice.

Get autographs first thing into spring training. All My Sons Fort Myers movers know all too well that as the season progresses, it gets harder to nab an autograph from a popular Red Sox or Twins player. Try to get that sought after signature as early as possible. Or better yet – go after an autograph from a less-known player that’s showing a lot of promise this season!

This is the fifth spring training in Fort Myers for the Red Sox. They have held spring training in Lee County for almost 25 years, as they trained at City of Palms Park from 1993 to 2011.

This will be the second spring training season of a renewed lease for the Minnesota Twins in Fort Myers. They have been training at CenturyLink Sports complex since 1991.

Leave early. Again, beating traffic is key. Top players are usually finished before the eighth inning, anyhow, so our Fort Myers movers doubt you’ll miss any action if you sneak out of a spring training game early.

All My Sons Moving & Storage of Fort Myers has learned that the notable ship will be here until January 31 and her crew will be inviting visitors onboard for a sailing adventure through the bay each afternoon.

If you have recently made the move to Fort Myers, you won’t want to miss stepping foot on this famous ship to experience traditional sailing. Our local Fort Myers movers believe it’s the perfect opportunity to become part of an American pastime and learn more about American history.

“We love being down there, Fort Myers Beach,” Don Peacock, director of the Lynx Program, said. “You have beautiful tropical water and all the opportunities for education there, that’s really what we are – an education platform teaching early American history, traditional sailing, the skills of maritime past.”

Launched in Maine in 2001, the Privateer Lynx has had a busy sailing schedule traveling around North America to educate people of all ages on the history of sailing.

All My Sons Moving & Storage Fort Myers is a top moving company in the area, and not only wants families to have the best move possible, but the merriest of Christmas’ too! If you and your family moved to Fort Myers earlier this year, get to know the area a little more, get out of the house, and check out these Fort Myers 2015 Christmas events taking place.

Edison Ford Holiday Nights: November 27^th-January 3^rd, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Edison Ford Winter Estates

Sunset Celebration at Time Square: Live music, food, and fun on Fort Myers Beach from 5-10 p.m.

Fort Myers Festival of Trees: This display of trees is a hot spot for those who are moving to Fort Myers and really love Christmas décor. Numerous Christmas trees are displayed in a setup much like that of an art exhibit. Fort Myers Festival of Trees is open every day, starting December 2^nd, from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

December is here and before we know it, it will be Christmas. Families will gather around and enjoy a holiday ham and make gingerbread houses with their little ones. However, Fort Myers movers have learned about a new Christmas tradition that is sweeping the west coast of Florida – tamales.

Tamales are a South American tradition, but since they take a lot of time and precision to make they are often only made on special occasions and holidays. You can think of the Christmas tamale tradition in much of the same respect as our holiday ham and gingerbread houses – they are a holiday specialty to share with our families. However, many South American countries celebrate Christmas on the 24^th, so they eat tamales for breakfast on the 25^th.

If you are moving to Fort Myers, local movers and residents were thrilled to hear about the new tradition that’s moved into town. Located in Bonita Springs, Tortilleria La Rancherita’s Guatemala native Monica Mendoza will be making 1,000 tamales for sale for those who live in Fort Myers and are looking to pick up some for Christmas morning. Mendoza will be making traditional tamales, as well as sweet tamales with cinnamon.

Fort Myers movers suggest picking up some tamales and starting a new Christmas breakfast tradition after moving to town, and you can find them at the following places:

Tortilleria La Rancherita

Gina’s Tamales

El Azteca

Taco Viva

Taquizza

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks and be grateful for everything and everyone you have. If you have recently completed a move, you may find yourself a little tapped out on money, or simply not wanting to spend a fortune on the holidays. In order to keep your bank account happy, Fort Myers movers have created a list of simple ways to save money this Thanksgiving!

1. Potluck Thanksgiving Dinner – If you have recently moved, why not use Thanksgiving as your housewarming party? If your family, friends, and new neighbors are down, invite them to your home for a potluck dinner. Each family or person can bring one favorite dish of choice and you can all save money on your Thanksgiving meal!

2. Less Décor is More – Fort Myers movers do not recommend that you spend a fortune trying to decorate your home for fall. After all, you decorate for Halloween, and then you only decorate for Thanksgiving for one month before it is time to decorate for Christmas. Thanksgiving is the perfect holiday to use homemade decorations that can cost you as little as nothing, since most of it can be made from items you already have. Go outside, pick some natural foliage, and make fall décor from leaves, branches, and fall flowers right in your yard. If you want colored napkins and dining room décor, purchase paper napkins instead. You can also use the pumpkins you picked for Halloween for your Thanksgiving centerpiece.

3. Shop Wisely – After moving to Fort Myers, you may want to do a major shopping spree at the grocery store in order to stock up your regular food items. However, you will not be able to do this if you spend an enormous amount of money on Thanksgiving ingredients. Fort Myers movers suggest going through the local coupons and finding the best deals for your Thanksgiving dinner grocery shop. Utilize bargains like buy-one-get-one and discounted items. If you wait until the last minute, you may end up paying a holiday premium for certain items.
