Moving Cost Factors
The three biggest cost drivers: distance, home size, and whether you hire movers. A local move (under 50 miles) with full-service movers for a 2-bedroom costs $800-2,500. A cross-country move (2,000+ miles) for the same home costs $3,500-7,500 with full-service movers. DIY with a rental truck costs 50-70% less but requires your time, effort, and risk of injury or damage.
Peak season (May-September) costs 20-25% more than off-peak because most leases end and families want to move before school starts. Moving mid-month on a weekday is cheapest; end-of-month weekends are most expensive.
