Moving in the Selbyville area
Selbyville is a coastal Sussex County town, tucked between Fenwick Island and Ocean City, and that beach-resort location shapes moving prices here. An in-state move gets an hourly bill with a truck fee added on top, whereas a container move or a trip out of state is priced by weight and mileage instead.
What a local move runs
A crew of two to three movers with a truck typically costs around $150 an hour. Total local move costs generally fall between $550 and $3,000 or more, depending heavily on whether you're moving a one-bedroom apartment or a full four-bedroom house.
A cheaper option if you pack yourself
Skipping the hourly crew for a self-pack moving container can cost less: local 16-foot containers in the area run $319 to $819, worth comparing if your move is small or your schedule is flexible.
Timing matters more here than inland
Because Selbyville sees heavy resort traffic in summer, an hourly-rate crew stuck on Route 1 is still on the clock, so a spring or fall booking tends to move faster and cost less than a July weekend.

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 Sussex County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 49% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
