A one-bedroom local move typically runs $500 to $800, taking about three to four hours with a two-person crew. A two-bedroom home runs $1,000 to $1,100 over four to five hours with two to three movers, while a larger three- to four-bedroom-plus home runs $1,900 to $2,900 or more across eight to nine hours, often with three to four movers. Hourly labor rates generally fall between $120 and $150 for a truck and two movers, with each extra crew member adding $40 to $50 an hour.
Fine print worth reading
Movers typically add a travel fee, often equal to about an hour of labor, to cover the drive to and from your home, so confirm it's included in your estimate. Push for a binding or not-to-exceed quote after a walkthrough, since a non-binding estimate can simply rise if the job runs long. A third-floor walk-up with no elevator, or a truck that has to park 100 feet from your door, often triggers long-carry or stair fees, so disclose the layout beforehand. Basic liability covers only about $0.60 per pound, meaning a broken 30-pound, $1,000 TV nets just $18, so ask about upgrading coverage. Cash tips of $20 to $40 per mover for a half-day, or $50 or more for a full day, are standard.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts South Central Connecticut Plannin rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 21% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
