What does it cost to move a house?

How far are you going to move this house?

Most, if not all, of the work in house moving is preparing the house for the move. Hence, a large portion of the mover's cost is in preparing the house for the move.

This not necessarily true for the owner. Anything over a one story house will get into the overhead utilities. Moving in the city is more expensive than moving in the country due to the density of overhead utilities.

You are probably asking, "Well, how far can a house be moved reasonably?" Moving a one story house 70 miles across country isn't really unreasonable. However, moving a two story house over 15 to 20 miles might be too expensive.

The statements above are just a rough estimation. It will vary depending on your possible routes. There are areas of the United States where there is a lot area free of overhead utilities.
