What drives moving costs in Colorado Springs
A local move is crew hours, so the question is always what the housing here does to those hours. Most of the metro is suburban with garages and driveways, though the older Old North End and Manitou Springs homes have porch steps and narrow drives, and westside foothill addresses add real grade.
Net of all that, Colorado Springs prices effectively at the national average. A 2-bedroom local move runs about $1,075 here and about the same nationally, Colorado Springs'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.
