What drives the price of a move to Laurel:
How many rooms / cubic feet — the single biggest driver of your price.
Local moves are priced per volume; long-distance adds mileage and freight.
Full packing, bulky items and storage add to the base transport cost.
Laurel, the southeast-Mississippi city revived by HGTV's "Home Town," combines restored small-town charm with one of the lowest costs of living in the country. A local 2BR move here generally runs $2,225-$2,675, while a long-distance 2BR lands around $4,200-$5,025. For a smaller household, a 1BR typically costs $1,675-$2,000 locally or $3,100-$3,700 for a longer, out-of-region move.
Local Laurel moves are billed by crew hours, so the size of your home, staircases, and truck access set the total. The show-driven interest in historic downtown properties means some homes have older layouts, narrow doorways, and detailed woodwork that call for careful handling. Long-distance jobs switch to weight and mileage, and Laurel's spot near I-59 helps keep routing to major cities reasonably direct.
