What a move in Wallingford costs
Local Connecticut moves are usually billed by the hour based on crew size, while long-distance relocations are priced by weight and mileage instead. A studio or one-bedroom apartment, with two movers over three to five hours, runs $300 to $600. A two- to three-bedroom home takes three to four movers over six to ten hours and runs $1,000 to $2,200. A larger four-plus-bedroom home needs a bigger crew and truck and runs $2,300 to $3,500 or more. Long-distance moves start around $2,200 for a nearby state and can climb past $5,000 for a cross-country haul.

|---|---|
| Studio / 1BR | $300 - $600 |
| 2-3 bedroom | $1,000 - $2,200 |
| 4+ bedroom | $2,300 - $3,500+ |
Before you book
If a truck can't park directly in front of your home because of narrow streets or a steep driveway, ask about long-carry or extra stair fees. Basic liability covers only $0.60 per pound, so a broken 30-pound, $1,000 TV nets just $18 — check your renter's or homeowner's policy or buy Full Value Protection. Moving mid-month, mid-week, or in the off-season can shave 10 to 25 percent off hourly rates. Insist on a binding or not-to-exceed estimate after an in-home or video survey, and set aside $4 to $6 per mover per hour, or 15 to 20 percent of the bill, for tips.

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.
