Moving Costs in New Canaan, CT
Local moves under 50 to 80 miles are billed hourly based on crew size, typically $100 to $160 per hour for a two to three-person crew and a truck. A studio or one-bedroom runs $400 to $700, a two to three-bedroom home runs $800 to $1,800, and a larger four-plus bedroom home can reach $2,000 to $4,000 or more depending on packing add-ons and distance. Rates typically climb 20 to 40 percent during peak season from May through September.
Many New Canaan properties have long, winding, or gravel driveways that a full-size truck can't navigate, which can mean a long-carry fee if the crew has to haul items further on foot. Mention your driveway layout when getting quoted. Basic liability coverage is minimal by law, so ask about upgrading if you have valuables. Cash tips of $4 to $6 per mover per hour 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 Western Connecticut Planning Regi rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 17% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
