How much does it cost to hire professional movers?

Moving companies take several factors into consideration when calculating the cost of a local or long-distance move.  However, there are differences in the ways that each type of move is calculated.  For example, some moving companies charge by the hour for local moves.  On the other hand, long-distance moves are usually based on distance and size of the move.

Taking historical data, national cost averages, and size of the home into consideration, a local move can cost between $700 for a 1-bedrolom home and $5,000 for a 4 to 5-bedroom home.  Based on those same three factors, a long-distance move could cost anywhere from $3,500 for a 1-bedroom up to $8,500 or more for a 4 to 5-bedroom home.  Keep in mind that these are averages and that the cost of your move could vary.
