What makes Augusta cost less
A local move is crew hours, so the question is always what the housing here does to those hours. Most of the metro is single-story suburban housing with driveways and garages, which keeps jobs efficient, while the older Summerville and Olde Town homes add porch steps and narrow drives.
Net of all that, Augusta prices 9% below the national average. The same 2-bedroom local move that typically costs $1,075 nationally runs $975 in Augusta, a difference of $100 less.
