On average, local moves out of studio apartments or single bedroom homes take 2–3 hours, moves out of 3-bedroom homes take 4–6 hours, and moves from 5-bedroom homes take 7+ hours.4 However, these are just averages, not predictions. The amount of time your local move will take depends on a lot of factors: The size of your home or apartment How many movers are in your crew The amount of stuff you have How much packing you do before moving day How many stairs your movers have to climb How close your movers can park How long any extra services take Because of how unique these factors are for every move, it’s difficult to predict exactly how long any move will take without knowing the specifics. Still, since local moves are often billed by the hour, it’s important to make time estimates when you budget. This handy resource from 2 Brothers Moving & Delivery can help you approximate how long your move will take.
