Moving a mobile home sounds simple...until you actually get a quote. Whether you’re relocating it to a new lot or just trying to clear a property, the cost of moving a mobile home can catch people off guard. So, how much does it cost to move a mobile home, and is there any way to avoid the cost altogether?
At Mobile Home Dealz, LLC, we’ve handled countless mobile home moves across North and South Carolina. We know the true costs and how to help sellers avoid them.

What Does It Cost to Move a Mobile Home?
The cost of moving a mobile home depends on several key factors:
Singlewide vs. Doublewide – Doublewides must be split and moved in two sections, which increases the cost.
Distance – If you are relocating locally, it's one thing, but moves that are long-distance are charged a premium.
Condition – A mobile home in poor condition may need repairs just to be moved.
Permits & Setup – In addition to transport, you’ll need permits from the county and may need setup services at the new location.
Typical Range:
Singlewide: $3,000–$6,000
Doublewide: $5,000–$12,000+
Why Sellers Are Surprised by Moving Costs
Many people think “mobile” means it’s cheap to move, but after sitting for years, the reality is different. Homes that have aged in place often need axle and hitch reinstallation, new tires, or even structural repairs to survive transport. Add in the cost of permits and teardown, and suddenly the “free” mobile home you offered becomes a costly project.
How to Avoid Paying Mobile Home Moving Costs
Here’s the good news: you may not have to pay anything.
At Mobile Home Dealz, LLC, we buy used mobile homes in most conditions and include removal and cleanup in our offer. That means:
No out-of-pocket cost to the seller
No dealing with permits or movers
We buy mobile homes as-is, and work with sellers to resolve any title issues
This is ideal for:
Landowners who need the home removed to make way for redevelopment
Inherited mobile homes that need to be cleared
Park or property managers dealing with abandoned units
Is Your Mobile Home Moveable?
Before you assume a home is “too far gone,” let us take a look. We’ve successfully moved homes others turned away, sometimes it’s just about having the right team.
And if the home can’t be moved, we’ll give honest feedback and often connect you with local demolition crews.
