Moving Companies in Bar Harbor, ME
Local moving costs around Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island scale with your home size and whether you hire a full crew or just labor to load and unload a truck or container.
Labor-only help -- a crew that handles the lifting while you handle the truck -- runs about $84 per hour, with smaller jobs landing in the low hundreds. A full crew and truck costs more: statewide hourly rates for a two- or three-person team run $100 to $150 or more per hour, and your total climbs from there depending on how many rooms you're packing. The table below shows typical totals by home size.
| Home Size | Avg. Total Cost | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| 2 bedrooms | $1,123 | ~5 hours |
| 3 bedrooms | $2,556 | ~8 hours |
| 4 bedrooms | $2,863 | ~9 hours |

Bar Harbor refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country only partly replaces them.
Households arriving from another state report $99,267 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Maine report $55,913. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
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 Hancock County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 64% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
