Moving from New York to North Carolina?
With the recent heavy snows in New York, New Jersey and Connecticutt - tons of "Snow Birds" are headed to North Carolina! We have jobs in the Triangle... and I believe that's what draws many people (along with reasonable taxes, less snow, and great schools!).

Moving To North Carolina From New York?... You Are Not Alone!
It turns out New York is the state that had the most visits to the Triangle Multiple Listing Service, after North Carolina obviously. In October (the last month we have figures for) there were 2500 visits from people in New York looking at homes in the Triangle. The Triangle is made up of Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and the surrounding towns and counties. Towns like Clayton, Cary, Apex are all considered part of the Triangle.
Next on the list was Virginia with 2000, New Jersey had 1,700 visits. I suspect the weather might have something to do with the New Yorkers and The Jersey lookers, that and the fact that a number of companies are relocating or opening plants in North Carolina. Why are you Moving to North Carolina from New York or New Jersey?
Next on the list was Florida with 1571 visits and there could be a number of reasons for this. The first is weather related aka hurricanes. People are willing to put up with four seasons as long as their house stays standing. Foreclosures, possibly people got stuck in what was once a hot area at the height of the housing boom and want out. Military bases are closing in Florida and those service men and women are being relocated to North Carolina.
California, Pennsylvania and Maryland are next and again with California, there are multiple companies in Silicon Valley that have either moved to Research Triangle Park or have operations here. When folks move to North Carolina from California, they are typically amazed at how good the house prices are and the superior quality of construction.
Georgia, Massachusetts, Illinois and South Carolinaround out the top dozen states with the most people looking at homes in North Carolina. So if you are Moving To North Carolina From New York, you will find lots of people with NY on their hats, you will also find a lot of North Carolinian who will show you around.
