What a Move Actually Costs in San Jose, CA
We publish real cost data from our own completed moves on this page — never made-up numbers. We don't have enough completed moves in a single home-size category yet to show honest medians, so rather than fake it, here's the truth: your price depends on how much you have, how far it's going, and how easy it is to get your stuff from the door to the truck.
What actually drives your price
- Home size and fullness. A packed-to-the-rafters 2-bedroom takes longer than a lightly furnished 3-bedroom.
- Distance. Local moves bill mostly by crew time; longer hauls add transport.
- Access. Stairs, elevators, and a long walk from the truck to the door all add crew time.
- Prep. Boxed and ready when the crew arrives is the cheapest move there is.

Get My Exact PriceMoving Cost Questions, Answered
Why do moving costs vary so much for the same size home?
Two 3-bedroom houses can be very different jobs: how full the home actually is, stairs and elevators, walk distance from the truck to the door, how far the two addresses are apart, and how much is packed and ready when the crew arrives. That's why we publish a typical range, not a single price — and why an exact quote is worth two minutes of your time.
Where do these numbers come from?
Every figure on this page is computed from All Stars Movers's own completed, paid moves — the final amounts real customers were billed. They are not national averages, survey estimates, or marketing numbers, and they update continuously as new moves complete.
Why show a median instead of an average?
One unusually large or unusually tiny job can drag an average up or down. The median is the literal middle move — half of customers paid less, half paid more — so it's a more honest "typical" number.
Will my move cost exactly the median?
Probably not exactly — the median is the midpoint, and your home's size, access, and distance set your actual price. The instant quote uses the same pricing engine we bill with, so the number you see online is the number on your estimate.
