Transplanting has lots of risks. From your description I would bet you will
have fruit set by August 29 and you will be facing a very high risk of
having the fruit abort.
How about getting your realtor to arrange for an early move in for your
plant. Your plant will have a much better chance of surviving if
transplanted now, plus it will not be at risk of being ignored during the
move.
Bottom line, I would transplant if I could do it now, and would leave the
plant in its pot otherwise.
