How to Move Your House in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

If you’re planning to rearrange your island on Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you might want to consider moving your house. It’s not just your house you can move in Animal Crossing; other buildings, such as Nook’s Cranny, other residents’ houses, and even other players’ houses, can be moved too.

Maybe you want to relandscape, or you would just rather be closer to the sea, whatever the reason, moving in Animal Crossing: New Horizons isn’t too difficult, but it is costly, so make sure you’ve made some Bells before planning to move.

How to Move Your House in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

When you first start out and are still learning how to play Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you might not put too much thought into where you pitch your tent. But, as your game progresses, there might be a time when you want to up and move.

Before you can move to your house, you will need to make sure you have paid off the debt for moving to the island, as well as upgrading the Resident Services building. If you’ve not done that yet, you will need to make sure you do before you can move house.

1. Go to Resident Services

Once you are ready, you will need to head on over to Resident Services and speak with Tom Nook. Choose the options about my home, and then press I want to relocate.

Of course, Tom is a businessman, so he doesn’t do anything for free. Moving your house will set you back 8,000 Bells, which you will need to pay upfront. The price of moving used to be a whopping 30,000 Bells, but it was recently reduced to 8,000 Bells, which makes moving much cheaper.

2. Choose a New Location

Once you have paid Tom, he will give you a new kit, which can be used to select a new location on the island to move your home to. Select a new location and use the kit.

Make sure to take your time selecting a new spot, as moving your home again will set you back a further 8,000 Bells.
