Weight and volume for 2 bedroom homes are estimating assumptions published in our methodology, not measured averages. A mover's survey replaces them with your actual inventory.

How weight changes this price

Interstate pricing is weight-based, so the shipment — not the floor plan — sets the total. At 2,015 miles our rate table applies cross-country move pricing, and every additional 1,000 lbs moves the line haul by roughly $769.

  • 1 Bedroom on the same route: $3,200$4,300 (2,400–3,800 lbs)
  • 2 Bedroom (this page): $4,800$6,400 (4,200–6,200 lbs)
  • 3 Bedroom on the same route: $7,000$9,350 (6,800–9,500 lbs)

If your inventory sits between two profiles, use the lower profile as a floor and the higher one as a ceiling until a surveyor weighs the shipment.

Truck and crew category

Moderate: two bedroom sets plus shared living space. On this corridor a shipment of this size typically travels as part of a consolidated interstate load rather than on a dedicated truck, which is what keeps the per-mile rate at this level.

Packing on a 2 bedroom shipment

Full packing on this route raises the estimate to about $5,350$7,100. Packing scales with volume, so the gap between packed and unpacked widens as home size grows.

Access at both ends

Seattle is the end of this route most likely to add access charges: shuttle transfer when a tractor-trailer cannot reach the address, plus long-carry fees when the truck parks more than about 75 feet away.

Our model prices origin and destination service separately. Seattle carries a labor and access assumption roughly 15% higher than Austin, reflecting denser parking, longer carries, and higher crew cost. Because the more expensive end is the delivery end, that difference is weighted less heavily in the estimate.

Common questions

How much does it cost to move a 2-bedroom home from Austin to Seattle?

$4,800–$6,400 estimated for a full-service move, based on 4,200–6,200 lbs travelling about 2,015 miles.

How long does loading take for a 2-bedroom home?

3 movers typically need 4–6 hours at the Austin end. Stairs, long carries, and unpacked rooms extend that.

What if my shipment weighs more than assumed?

Weight above 6,200 lbs pushes the estimate toward the 3 bedroom range. Ask for a binding or not-to-exceed estimate after an in-home or video survey.
