What local moves cost

| Home size | Typical total | Typical time |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bedroom | $300 - $700 | 2 - 4 hours |
| 2-to-3 bedroom | $800 - $2,200 | 5 - 9 hours |
| 4+ bedroom | $1,600 - $4,000+ | Varies with packing and heavy items |
Fees and coverage that change the number
Ask where the clock starts: many companies begin billing when the truck leaves their warehouse and add a flat travel fee on top. Heavy or awkward pieces such as pianos, safes, and gym equipment usually carry a $100 - $300 surcharge, and stairs add billable time, so mention them when you book.
Basic carrier liability is set at $0.60 per pound per item, which works out to $12 for a dropped $1,000 television that weighs 20 pounds. If you own high-value pieces, price out full-value protection before moving day.
When you move matters
Rates jump at month-ends, on weekends, and through the May - September peak. A Tuesday-to-Thursday, mid-month slot can cut hourly rates by 10% - 20%. Whatever the date, confirm the mover's CAL-T license through the state Bureau of Household Goods and Services before signing anything.

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 Yolo County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 22% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
