Immigrant Population Shifts

This is a great article and very important.  In our market place immigrants are making up 50% of the new home purchases.  It's important for us to help them maintain their culture and serve them in the way they want to be served. 

"the study estimates that immigrants and their descendants will make up 82 percent of U.S. population growth over the next 40 years."

That is amazing! I wonder how many will be Swedes like me? Not many I'm guessing.

Thanks for the interesting post, keep selling those Colorado Springs Homes!

Cherise  The Hispanic immigration has ecome a major cost factor in local communities - we have to be sure budgets reflect the true costs of all this, because taxes are going to increase

Hi Cherise, this is probably a touchy subject in Arizona! Happy Friday! Tiffany

Yes and as we all know from the news, this is a subject that is changing our nation as we speak.

Hi Cherise!  You and I read the same article!  I have known about this surge in NC and STILL have not taken action to adapt my marketing.  I'm a slow learner, I guess!  Those forward thinking individuals are going to be FAR ahead of me, unless I get on the ball and do something about it.  I have taken several years of Spanish in my lifetime but, not in the past 30 years!  I think I need a refresher too!

Hope you and yours have a wonderful weekend...

Learning how to work with those who have different experiences and perspectives can be challenging, but quite rewarding. Overcoming some of the language barriers is tough. Gordon thanks for your input along with Cherise.

Hi Cherise, Definitely something to think about and plan for.  We are a nation of immigrants, but I think sometimes we forget that.

Cherise,  the percentage is shocking, but the thought process is not.  I have enrolled for the Fall semester of college for beginning Spanish, I am taking the class online, and intend to have my 10 year old son follow along, as this is where our country is headed is multi-ingual.
