What makes Sioux Falls cost less
A local move is crew hours, so the question is always what the housing here does to those hours. Sioux Falls housing is newer detached stock with garages and driveways almost everywhere, which keeps carry distances short even on larger homes and shortens the working day for the crew.
Net of all that, Sioux Falls prices 6% below the national average. The same 2-bedroom local move that typically costs $1,075 nationally runs $1,000 in Sioux Falls, a difference of $75 less.
