Ive only been playing a month, and I have invested a good amount into a few standard decks. I am wondering come October, will the value of my cards that are rotating out drop dramatically? Should I start to sell off around the summer time so not to take a huge loss?

Why not keep them and use them to play with friends? I have cards from tempest that I refuse to sell.

I only play at FNM, none of my friends play magic. So holding onto them if I wont be able to use them seems like a bad idea, IF they drop their value. If they hold their value then I dont need to really get rid of them. I just dont want to lose a boat load of money ive spend on these three standard decks

just do what I do and whenever you go to FNM bring along your casual deck so you have some fun with older cards. Hell, I even build decks for the sole purpose of playing casual at FNM

Most cards lose value, some gain because of the new set
I love trolls   Dont hate me because I'm blunt and you cannot handle it

I actually have a sort of related question, so I'll just ask here instead of making a new thread. I am in the market for Mutavault  s. They are very expensive at the moment. Is there anything coming up in the foreseeable future that could cause the price to drop? Is it rotating out of any format or anything like that?

Nothing immediately foreseeable.
You may be better off getting Mishra's Factory instead (about $5), unless you need Changeling for some reason.

I already have factories standing in for them. I do, in fact, need changeling. I'm running a sort of traditional form of fish and I'd greatly appreciate 3/3 or 5/5 manlands swinging every turn. As it stands I actually feel sad when I look at the board and realize they should be swinging for a lot more than they are.

No. Two factors may cause minor downward pressure on Mutavault prices. One is that Merfolk decks are losing ground to RUG Delver in Legacy, so Fish fans may be selling off their Mutavaults. The other is that Mutavault may (nothing is confirmed) be featured in From the Vault: Realms this August, which can cause a price shift of about 5% downward. Overall, I predict Mutavault will go down slightly in the future, but nothing drastic will happen. Buy it now if you want copies.
To answer the original question, Standard staples do drop off after rotating out. It's partially based on supply in the market, so a card will start to drop in late August and hit a floor much later. The existence of Modern has made this floor much higher, but it's still a good idea to move your Standard staples in September right before they rotate out.

all prices will drop at least 50% after they rotate out, unless they are also heavily played in modern...
because like the OP said, you're cards become worthless after rotation if you don't want/can't play for fun...
