Most of Avonmore was built in 1960 or before, and almost four homes in five are detached, so the ordinary job here is a house move: a front door, a truck at the curb, interior stairs instead of a service lift, and a whole home to clear rather than one floor of one. Three-quarters of the homes are owned, which ties the date to a possession rather than to the end of a lease.
What complicates that picture is who lives in them. Households here are small and more than a quarter of the homes hold one person, so the load coming out of a full-sized house is often lighter than the floor area suggests. The hours and prices below are drawn from the southeast Edmonton communities Avonmore belongs to.
Moving costs around Avonmore, by the numbers
That set is 30 southeast Edmonton communities and 106 completed residential moves between them. The middle job ran 4.25 hours on site, half of them between 2.75 and 6.75 hours, and cost $823 with tax in, with half of the 106 falling between $503 and $1,280. Sixty-three per cent were graded small, 29% medium and 8% large. Because the bill follows the hours, those grades are the useful part of it: a medium job is not a different rate from a small one, it is a longer day.

How much does it cost to move in Avonmore?
The median local move across the 106 jobs in the southeast Edmonton communities around Avonmore is $823, total cost with tax, and half of them fell between $503 and $1,280. A local move is billed hourly, at a rate set by the number of movers and the size of the truck, and the agreement states it before the crew starts.

How long does a house move in Avonmore take?
The middle job in the communities around Avonmore ran 4.25 hours on site, and half of the 106 took between 2.75 and 6.75 hours. Avonmore is mostly detached houses with small households in them, so the hours turn less on the size of the building than on how much of it is packed before the crew arrives.
-
Is it cheaper to move at a certain time of year in Avonmore?
No, the hourly rate does not change by month, so no date in Avonmore is priced differently from another. What changes with the season is how much work there is: across the surrounding communities, August, June and November carry more completed moves than the rest of the year. Because the rate is hourly, the lever on what a move costs is the size of the job, not the date on it.
-
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Avonmore?
Only if the truck has to sit on the road rather than in a driveway, and then it is Edmonton's On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit, currently with no fee for the work reasons that cover it. Low-impact requests want at least 6 working days of notice, high-impact ones 10, and processing takes about 6 business days.
-
What does Cactus charge for travel time to Avonmore?
Nothing. There is no charge for travel time within city limits, so the bill covers the hours the crew is actually working. There is no deposit on a local move and no fuel surcharge, and Cactus is licensed, insured and bonded. Packing services and bin rentals can be added to the same agreement.

Avonmore neighbourhood guide for moving day
Nothing in Avonmore stands five storeys or taller, so a lift booking and a loading-bay window are not part of the plan here; the access question is where the truck can legally stand on a street of detached houses. Edmonton answers that with an On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit for a vehicle occupying the road, wanting 6 working days of notice for low-impact work and 10 for anything heavier, with processing that takes about 6 business days and slows in peak construction season. It is the one part of an Avonmore move that cannot be arranged on the day.

- What it costs
- No fee currently: OSCAM Permits associated with Temporary Crossing, Tree Shrub Hoarding and Waste Bin, POD or SeaCan work reasons currently have no fees associated with them. A daily permitting fee for on-street placement of commercial waste bins, PODs or SeaCans is planned but is on hold until further notice.
- How much notice
- Average processing time is 6 business days. Low-impact projects should be submitted a minimum of 6 working days prior to start of work; high-impact projects a minimum of 10 working days. Longer processing during peak construction season (March to October).

Figures come from Cactus’s own completed residential moves (business and high-frequency accounts excluded) and from official municipal open data; they are medians and quartiles, never averages, every published figure rests on at least five moves, percentages are rounded, and all-time counts are floors because some older pickup and drop-off addresses were never geocoded.

Ivan and George were amazing. Flooring protection was used. Incredibly professional and kind. I only had one item but it was a extremely heavy vintage fridge that they moved no problem. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cactus Moving.

George and Lovish were amazing and very accommodating while moving a fridge for my grandparents! The delivery was very timely despite the 2 feet of snow and a rocking blizzard and they navigated the tight spaces of our home with ease!
