Weight and volume for 4 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 1,720 miles our rate table applies long-haul move pricing, and every additional 1,000 lbs moves the line haul by roughly $738.
- 3 Bedroom on the same route: $6,850–$9,150 (6,800–9,500 lbs)
- 4 Bedroom (this page): $9,150–$12,200 (9,500–13,000 lbs)
- 5+ Bedroom on the same route: $12,250–$16,350 (13,000–18,000 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
High: often two load days and specialty item handling. Our rate table prices a shipment of this size on this corridor as part of a consolidated interstate load rather than a dedicated truck, which is what holds the per-mile figure at this level.
Packing on a 4 bedroom shipment
Full packing on this route raises the estimate to about $10,150–$13,500, roughly $1,150 more than the unpacked figure. Packing labor is priced against the 1,360–1,860 cu ft this profile assumes, not against the distance traveled, so the gap widens with home size rather than mileage.
Access at both ends
New York carries the higher access assumption in our model, so it is the end where shuttle transfer or long-carry charges are most likely to be added by the carrier after a survey.
Our model prices origin and destination service separately. New York carries a labor and access assumption roughly 22% higher than Austin, an assumption covering relative crew cost and access difficulty in each metro. Because the more expensive end is the loading end, that difference is weighted more heavily in the estimate.

Common questions
How much does it cost to move a 4-bedroom home from New York to Austin?
Moving a 4-bedroom home from New York to Austin is estimated at $9,150–$12,200. Our model assumes 9,500–13,000 lbs filling 1,360–1,860 cu ft, loaded by 4 movers over 7–10 hours, and charges about $738 of line haul for every 1,000 lbs across 1,720 miles. That range is model output rather than a price any mover has committed to.
How long does loading a 4-bedroom home take on this route?
Our model schedules 4 movers for 7–10 hours at the New York end, sized to 1,360–1,860 cu ft of goods. High: often two load days and specialty item handling. Stairs, long carries and rooms that are still unpacked when the crew arrives extend that window before any mileage is driven.
What does full packing add for a 4-bedroom home?
Full packing raises the modeled range to $10,150–$13,500, about $1,150 more, because packing labor and materials scale with the 1,360–1,860 cu ft this profile assumes rather than with the distance to Austin.
What if the shipment weighs more than 13,000 lbs?
Weight above 13,000 lbs is billed at roughly $738 of line haul per additional 1,000 lbs on this corridor, which moves the total toward the 5+ bedroom range of $12,250–$16,350. A surveyed binding or not-to-exceed estimate is what fixes it.
