What drives moving costs in Boise
A local move is crew hours, so the question is always what the housing here does to those hours. Treasure Valley housing is mostly newer suburban stock with garages and driveways, quick to work, while the older North End bungalows have porch steps, basements, and tree-lined streets with tight truck clearance.
Net of all that, Boise prices effectively at the national average. A 2-bedroom local move runs about $1,075 here and about the same nationally, Boise's local index of 0.99 is close enough to the national blend that the difference disappears at this size. It shows up on bigger homes, where the same percentage is applied to a larger bill.
