Interesting. . .United Van Lines has just released details on its annual migration study, and apparently their numbers support what we are feeling here--y'all want to live here! (As a transplant from the Midwest via 32 years in the Northeast, I am going out on a limb with that "y'all")
For the second year in a row, North Carolina topped the list of states that people are moving into."The South emerged as a top migration spot in 2007, with North Carolina coming in as the top destination (61.6% inbound).
For more details on the study, here's the link: http://www.unitedvanlines.com/mover/united-newsroom/press-releases/2008/2007-united-van-lines-migration-study.htm
I am working with literally dozens of folks who would be here in a flash if they could sell their homes in those states in the study with high outbound rates. As I have probably said a few times here, people are looking for what this state (and the Pinehurst/Southern Pines area) has to offer in terms of lifestyle, climate, cost of living, cost of real estate. For the golfer looking for a retirement home, there is no better play than NC, and if you are looking for geographic diversity, the Sandhills, Moore County, is an hour and a half from the coast, 3 from the mountains, and in the middle of its own recreational paradise.
