What does it cost to move a house?

The type of house makes a difference.

In general, ranking the type of houses and the cost to move them would like something like this:
 
One story (higher ranking is higher cost to move):
1. Wood frame
2. Stucco
3. Brick veneer (assuming the mover takes the brick with)
4. Brick
 
Story and a Half (higher ranking is higher cost to move):
1. Wood frame
2. Stucco
3. Brick veneer (assuming the mover takes the brick with)
4. Brick
 

Two story (higher ranking is higher cost to move):
1. Wood frame
2. Stucco
3. Brick veneer (assuming the mover takes the brick with)
4. Brick
 

The above is a broad generalization. Don't take it as gospel.
Odds are you will have a one story brick veneer house that would
cost more to move than a two story wood frame house.


In general brick adds a significant cost to the move.
