What does a three-bedroom move in Mahogany cost?

$1,035 is the median three-bedroom move in Mahogany, across 33 priced jobs, with half of them landing between $692 and $2,071. That is three movers, one truck and 5 hours on site in the middle. It is also the size we handle most often here, at 26% of the work.

Why do quotes for a Mahogany move vary so much?

Because one median has to cover every size of home. A one-bedroom here runs $618 over 3.75 hours and a four-bedroom-plus $1,831 over 6.5, and both are billed at the same hourly rate. That is how half of the community's jobs land between $508 and $1,073 and the rest fall outside on one side or the other. Splitting the work by size, as the cards above do, is a better answer than one figure for all of Mahogany.

Is an apartment move in Mahogany different from a house move?

Yes, and the cards above put figures on it: a one-bedroom apartment or condo move here runs $618 over 3.75 hours with two movers, while a three-bedroom house runs $1,035 over 5 hours with three. A fifth of Mahogany's homes are apartments, which makes the building-door version of the day the exception here rather than the rule. Where it applies, the lift and the loading area are worth booking before the date.

Is there a deposit or a fuel surcharge on a Mahogany move?

Neither. There is no deposit to hold a local date, no fuel surcharge on the invoice, and no charge for travel time within city limits. The $754 median above is a total with tax, not a subtotal waiting for additions. The rate covers the movers and the truck at the size the job needs and is stated in the agreement before the crew starts. Packing services and bin rentals are available and priced separately.

How does Mahogany compare with the southeast communities around it?

Mahogany runs a little under the ring it sits in: a $754 median local move against $792 across 24 southeast Calgary communities, and 4 hours on site against 4.25. The size grading is almost identical, 61% small here against 60% there. Where the two part company is the far end of the range, which reaches $1,273 across the wider set and $1,073 here.

Movers in Mahogany: what we know about moving here

Mahogany is a large southeast community still building out, and it is mostly houses that the people in them own. That decides more about a moving day here than the size of the place does: a job usually starts at a garage or a front step rather than at a lobby, and the date follows a possession time rather than the end of a lease. A fifth of the homes are apartments, so the elevator question has not disappeared. It has just become the minority case.

Our own record here is deep enough to split, which is the more useful thing about it. Sixty-one per cent of Mahogany moves grade small, the middle job runs 4 hours on site with a crew of two, and the median local move is $754, a shade under the $792 across the 24 southeast communities around it. What the four cards below add is the reason a single median is hard to plan against: a one-bedroom here runs $618 over 3.75 hours and a three-bedroom $1,035 over 5, and both are billed at the same hourly rate.

Mahogany neighbourhood guide for moving day

Mahogany is still building out and most of it is houses, so most jobs here are a whole home rather than a unit. That is what puts the median day at 4 hours rather than at the short end of the scale. A fifth of the homes are apartments, and on those the lift and the loading area are worth booking with the building before the date. Because so much of the community is owner-occupied, the calendar runs on possession times. On the street side, Calgary requires a Street Use Permit whenever a truck takes up road space: $31.50 a day for shorter-term use, the temporary no-parking permit carried inside it, and 5 days of notice.

Mahogany moving costs, by the numbers

The jobs counted here are the ones whose loading address, unloading address or both sat inside Mahogany, going back to 2024: over 120 of them, with 66 inside the last twelve months. Hours rest on 126 of those jobs and crew size on 124, and the 105 with a settled invoice are what the price band is built from. Every dollar figure is the total the customer paid, tax included, rather than an hourly rate multiplied out.

What a move in Mahogany actually looks like

Four sizes of move, cut out of 126 completed residential jobs in Mahogany. Another 35 were storage runs, container loads and part-home jobs whose paperwork records no bedroom count; they belong to none of the four.

half fell between $463 and $793 · 24 moves

3.75 hours on site half ran 2.69–4.38 hours
2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

One-bedroom moves are 19% of what we have done in Mahogany: 24 of them with a settled price, a $618 median, and half falling between $463 and $793. Two movers and one truck, and the middle day is 3.75 hours on site with half running 2.69 to 4.38. Whether the job starts at a building door or a front step is most of what decides where inside that band it lands.

A two-bedroom apartment or condo move in Mahogany

half fell between $504 and $1,153 · 29 moves

4.25 hours on site half ran 3.25–5.5 hours
2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

$809 is the median two-bedroom move in Mahogany, from 29 priced jobs, with half of them between $504 and $1,153. Still two movers and one truck; the middle day is 4.25 hours on site, half between 3.25 and 5.5, which is about half an hour more than a one-bedroom for a second bedroom's worth of furniture and boxes. This is 23% of the work here, and the size at which a booked lift or a clear spot for the truck most often pays for itself.

A three-bedroom house move in Mahogany

$1,035
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $692 and $2,071 · 33 moves

5 hours on site half ran 3.75–8 hours
3 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

The size we handle most often in Mahogany: 26% of the work, 33 priced jobs, a $1,035 median, and 5 hours on site with three movers and one truck. It is also the widest band on the page, with half of those 33 falling between $692 and $2,071, because at three bedrooms the garage, the basement and how much is boxed before the day decide as much as the room count does. A walkthrough beforehand is what tells you which part of that band your day belongs to.

A four-bedroom-plus move in Mahogany

$1,831
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $997 and $1,946 · 5 moves

6.5 hours on site half ran 6–8.75 hours
3 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

Only 5 of Mahogany's moves have been four-bedroom-plus, 4% of the book, so read the $1,831 median as the middle of a very small set rather than as a rate. Half of the five fell between $997 and $1,946. The day is 6.5 hours on site with three movers and one truck, half of them running 6 to 8.75 hours. What lengthens a day at this size is how much of the house is packed before the crew arrives; packing services and bin rentals are quoted separately.

Moving to Mahogany, or out of it

More of the moves attributed to Mahogany are people leaving than arriving: 65 out against 51 in, 52% against 41%, with another 10 running from one Mahogany address to another. In a community this owner-occupied and still building out, a good share of that is first homes changing hands: the date comes from a possession time rather than the end of a tenancy, and it rarely moves once it is set.

Auburn Bay and Seton are the two neighbourhoods these moves most often start from or end in, and the rest stay inside the southeast ring. Whichever direction yours runs, the crew, the truck and the hourly rate are the same, and travel time within city limits is not charged; what changes is which end of the day needs the access and the parking settled first.

Jason and Yohan helped us move today and we couldn’t be happier! They were pleasant, timely, and extremely careful with our belongings. They sent us morning coffees to start the day, and gave us a tiny cactus once the move was completed.
