These are industry-average ranges for a standard full-service move, not a quote. Actual cost varies by season, the specific moving company, real weight of belongings, and access difficulty. Packing services, specialty items, storage-in-transit, and tips aren't included.
- • Booking mid-month and mid-week, outside the May-September peak season, helps land toward the low end of the range.
- • Get an actual in-home or virtual survey estimate from 2-3 movers before booking.
- • Ask specifically whether stairs, long carries, or an elevator reservation apply at either address.
