Not in my dialect. We would probably say we’re moving, we're moving our residence to ... or we’re relocating to ...

It would be:
Ben and Tracy are moving.
Ben and Tracy are moving their residence.
Comment:

Ben and Tracy are moving. OK

‘House’ in your original sentence is unnecessary.

Blouen, BH is right: 'house' is unnecssary, but if included it would still be a perfectly acceptable sentence in English.

A little more care is needed here.
A and B are moving is insufficient to give a clear indication of what is 'moving'. When 'house' is added it is absolutely clear.
So you could raise more questions simply by saying:
Ben and Tracy are moving. Where? When? What? or even that they are concerned individuals who appear to be moving in their expressions of concern.
Therefore 'house' is needed.
