Total costs for a standard local move typically range between $433 and $3,521+, heavily depending on the size of your home:
- Studio or 1-Bedroom: Generally ranges from $285 to $586.
- 2-Bedroom: Generally ranges from $592 to $910.

| Crew Size | Average Hourly Cost | Typical Job Fit |
|---|---|---|
| 2-Person Crew | $85 – $105 / hr | Studios, 1-to-2 bedroom apartments |
| 3-Person Crew | $130 – $160 / hr | Larger 2-to-3 bedroom homes |
- Per-Hour Difference: Adding a third mover usually increases the hourly rate by roughly $40 to $55 more per hour because you are paying for the extra labor and truck utilization time.
- Total Project Efficiency: While a 3-person crew costs more per hour, they complete loading and unloading significantly faster for medium-to-large homes. As a result, the total bottom-line cost for a 3-person crew on a 3+ bedroom house is often close to—or only slightly higher than—using a slower 2-person crew.
- Minimums: Most local movers in the area enforce a 3-hour minimum regardless of crew size, plus travel or fuel fees.

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 Onslow County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 52% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
