Residential Moving Guide
Planning your residential move
Residential moving costs vary widely based on home size, distance, and how much work you want the movers to handle. The best way to compare apples to apples is to get estimates from several vetted movers for the same scope of work.
How much does a residential move cost?
Home size
A studio apartment moves for a fraction of what a 4-bedroom house costs. More stuff means more movers, a bigger truck, and more hours.
Distance
Local moves under 50 miles are usually billed hourly. Long-distance and interstate moves are billed by weight and mileage.
Services
Add-ons like packing, unpacking, specialty items, and storage move the needle. Choose only what you actually need to keep costs down.
Season & date
Summer weekends and month-ends are the most expensive. A mid-week, off-peak move can save hundreds on the same trip.
Typical range
Most 1–3 bedroom local moves fall between several hundred and a few thousand dollars, depending on distance and services.
