Finding the right balance between cheap, safe, and convenient isn’t impossible when it comes to moving out of New Haven, says Movers.com.
Connecticut is seeing once again a higher number of people moving out, compared to pre-pandemic figures.
And this means moving is more expensive.
More homeowners looking to leave the state means a higher demand for moving services, which drives up moving costs - and Movers.com hopes to help homeowners make a more informed decisions by offering an overview of standard two-bedroom apartment moving costs in different scenarios.
According to the Movers.com guide, the average cost of moving a two-bedroom apartment can range from $1,000 to $6,000, depending on distance, services included, and weight.
While hiring a professional mover is the more costly option, you might want to do that if you can afford it - and want to save time and stress.
At the opposite end of the budget spectrum is going DIY, which is way cheaper - but requires careful planning, more time invested, and doesn't come with the extra insurance offered by certified movers.
An intermediate option may be a great alternative to cut costs while still retaining the benefits of working with the experts.
“One way to save money when moving is to hire a You Pack, We Drive moving service,” explains the guide. “A trailer will be delivered to your apartment complex, and you can pack up your belongings on your own time. Then the movers will pick up the unit and deliver it to your new location. However, using a portable storage unit in an apartment can be tricky. Some complexes have restrictions on keeping units on their property. If you don't have your own parking spot, you may have difficulty finding a place for it. Speak with your landlord in advance to find out what the regulations are regarding portable storage units.”
