Last year and the year before, many many people chose to relocate to Dyersburg from Florida. We also got our share of people who relocated from California. Those have now slowed to a trickle. Before, they were selling their overvalued properties and buying value priced properties in Tennessee. This appeared to be the norm across the state. Now with the real estate market collapse, they are unable to sell their properties and reinvest in Tennessee.
The new trend I am seeing is people moving here from Nigeria. I am running into a lot of new faces and many have that distinct British accent. I have some new friends who I just sold a home to who are originally from Nigeria. He is a doctor in Hayti.
I have met many others from Nigeria with most of them being in the medical field. Perhaps there is a shortage of medical professionals here in the states and our government is bringing in these people to help out with the shortage.
