I ran across a 2-story 3000 sf wood frame house that the owner will give away to anyone who will move it off the property. It's a large urban lot and want to build apartments.

Assuming all the details -- structurally sound, approved by the city of the new site, moving permits clear, etc.... Has anyone had personal experience pricing this kind of project?

This is not the house I'm looking at, but similar in shape and height.

Count on spending 10, 12, 14 or 25 thousand to move the home. If you
want it mostly in one piece, is could cost more or less.

You need a professional so the price goes up.


+1 I've seen it done and it is a painstakingly long process therefore $$$$.


Moving the house DOES not include a new foundation support when the
house is delivered.

The moving price and new foundation price goes up. This is not a job
for illegal Mexicans. It takes a professional company.

Also co-operation from the city/county/utilities etc for appropriate
wire adjustments for any overhead wires that may need to be moved,
dropped and reconnected.
