Do they really mean anything?

What do they tell you about a community?  

I believe Ratings are important and do give you a real sense of what's going on in the area.  I've written several posts on the Raleigh-Cary, NC area because I absolutely love where I live, work, and play.  Just last month I wrote about Why I love Cary, NC . And, here is a post I wrote earlier this year called 2008 Triangle Accolades - The list keeps growing about the many accolades that have been bestowed upon the Triangle.  

It looks like I'm not the only one singing the Triangle praises.  The secret is out and the Raleigh - Cary area has been discovered.   There are over 18,000 people moving into this area on a year-to-year basis. I decided to write this post today because The Milken Institute just released their Best Cities for 2008 and the Raleigh-Cary area came out #2!!! I'm not sure why they chose Provo, Utah as number 1 but I'll get over it.  The list also puts Wilmington at No. 6 and Durham at No. 21.  Among other North Carolina metros, Charlotte ranks No. 26, with Asheville No. 46, Winston-Salem No. 99 and Greensboro No. 141. 

In my next post I'm going to write about the many things that my clients look for when they are moving to the area.  I truly believe this area has it all.  So, if you are considering a move to North Carolina or the Triangle area give me a call - we have a lot to talk about!
