| Home size | Estimated total |

| 3-bedroom | $1,000 - $3,500 |
| 4+ bedroom | $2,500 - $4,500+ |
Bigger homes needing a three or four person crew scale the hourly rate up from there, so confirm crew size before you book. Across South Carolina as a whole, movers run anywhere from $485 to $4,539 depending on distance and home size, which shows how much a longer haul or a bigger household can move the number. On the island itself, beach traffic and elevated home designs can also slow a job down, so ask whether the quote already accounts for stairs or a tricky causeway approach.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Charleston County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 27% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
