What Impacts Your Moving Costs?

When it comes to sorting moving estimates, it’s important to realize that there are multiple factors at play. In an effort to help you understand the costs and adjust your moving budget if needed, we’ve compiled a short list of things that you should look out for as you dive into a long distance move.

Start with Size

As seen in the chart we created for you above, the size of your home, which usually correlates with the amount of and weight of your household goods is the main determinant in the cost of your move. Simply put, if you have a one bedroom apartment with just minimal furniture, your move should always cost less than someone in a large four bedroom home with tons of household goods. Since the weight of your items can increase cost, this is an excellent time for you to donate or get rid of things you no longer use. That’s right, de-cluttering your space can save you money and make unpacking and setting up your new home in Dallas that much easier.

The Contents of Your Move

Even after you downsize and get rid of some things, you may still have a rather expensive move. How is this possible? Well, the contents of your move are important as well. Whenever a customer needs help moving things such as a hot tub, grand piano, expensive artifacts or other hard to move items, they should expect the overall price of their move to increase exponentially. At AVL, we stress to customers that even though it may cost more, trusting professional movers in these situations is the right way to go. The last thing you want is to have to pay for expensive repairs by cutting corners with amateur movers or attempting a difficult do it yourself move.

Examining Your Moving Needs  

When many people think about the moving process, they envision movers lifting boxes into trucks and driving them across town. While this much is true, the specifics of every move can be very different. For some, moving means hiring a company to do all of the packing, unpacking and supplying storage units along the way if needed. A move like this would obviously be more expensive than one where the customer simply needs a company to do some heavy lifting.

Why are the benefits of moving to Dallas?

They say everything is bigger in Texas. Well, Dallas simply embodies this saying. As a rapidly growing city, Dallas is the proud home of my residents who are looking for ways to improve their lives. If you’re excited to live here, we can’t blame you. Here are some of the main reasons you should relocate to Dallas.

Expand Your Career

Did you know that Dallas is the proud headquarters of mega companies like Southwest Airlines, ExxonMobil and AT&T? With a strong infrastructure, it is the ideal please to make a career change or grow in the one you currently have. With employment rates that outshine other major cities, we see why so many people are relocating to Dallas.

Give Yourself a Tax Break

As you work on your career goals, why not move to a city that lets you save money in the process with every check that you make? Texas does not make its residents pay state or local income tax. This is a huge deal and will help you save money as you work on a better quality of life.

Low Cost of Living

Here’s a fun fact: New York has a 129 percent higher cost of living than Dallas while Miami has a 14 percent higher cost of living. Dallas is a comparable city as far as nightlife, entertainment options and more. So, why wouldn’t you move somewhere that has a much lower cost of living? In an effort to continue to save money and embrace a better quality of life, calling Dallas home is an excellent idea.
