National Moving Day🚚May 26: Why Everyone's Headed To The Carolinas

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

SOUTHEAST SURGE: THE CAROLINAS ARE TOP MOVING DESTINATIONS

 

The Tuesday following Memorial Day is commonly referred to as Moving Day. Moving Day is sometimes nicknamed "Crazy Tuesday," as this day sees a major spike in relocations, with many families taking advantage of the post-holiday timing and summer school break to move.

 

The Carolinas A Top Destination For People Did you know that Charlotte, North Carolina ranks as the sixth most moved-to city in the United States? According to the PODS Moving Trends Report, North Carolina also holds the title of the most moved-to state, with five cities landing in the top 20 most popular relocation destinations.

 

For those researching their next move, MoveBuddha.com reveals some interesting Spring 2025 moving trends:

  • South Carolina tops the list as the most popular state to move to in 2025, with more than twice as many people looking to move in than out—a 2.18 in-to-out move ratio. Tennessee, North Carolina, Alabama, and Delaware follow closely behind.

  • North Carolina leads in total inbound interest, accounting for 15.75% of all net inbound searches, ahead of South Carolina (15.57%) and Texas (14.86%).

  • The Southeast continues to attract the most movers, thanks to its reputation for affordability, job growth, and outdoor lifestyle. The top four states—South Carolina (#1), Tennessee (#2), North Carolina (#3), and Alabama (#4)—reflect a strong regional preference.

Hello Nina - as seasons shift many sorts of things can seem to be more active moving to and fro.  Happy National Moving Day - so many parts of real estate are connected with movement.

Michael Jacobs good morning, Michael. You know very well how much I love to tie in a "day" with a call to action.

That does not surprise me, Roy. I'm working right now with a couple moving from Long Island.

Good morning Nina,

I did not know it was National Moving Day on the day after Memorial Day but it makes sense! Many are moving to the Carolinas and for good reasons!

May 27, 2025 05:39 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Dorie Dillard Austin TX hi Dorie... I believe there's another moving day sometime in August. This is one that seems to fly under the radar.

Good morning Nina. Many have a "call-to-action" without the ability to deliver the results promised. An experienced agent like you are the ones who can deliver on the promise. Enjoy your day.

May 27, 2025 05:52 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Wayne Martin thanks, Wayne! I like to think that I deliver on what I promise to do.

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 good morning, Sheila... just spoke with clients who will be retiring from Long Island and they looked at both Florida and South Carolina and decided on SC in the Charlotte region. They are not alone.

Nina - I drove through Charlotte this weekend on my way to Athens GA - with no time to stop and grab coffee with you - I am not surprised that Charlotte is drawing people - what a lovely city and so many beautiful high rises downtown. 

May 27, 2025 06:08 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Lise Howe well, be that way, Lise! (Just kidding.) Charlotte is a very pretty city and living here is much easier and less expensive than in many other areas of the US.

Why do I think man people are moving to the Carolinas...because they are not crazy radicals! Trends (especially among the young) are going towards a simple life that believes in God, Family and right over wrong. Makes me happy. 

May 27, 2025 06:37 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty good morning, Jeff... seeing younger people abandon all the leftist craziness does my heart good. And they are totally welcome here in the Carolinas.

Nina Hollander, Broker - I had my husband and his daughter in the car with me - I just kept driving and driving and driving - Coming back from Athens on Sunday I drove for 9 hours without stopping except for two bathroom breaks and gas - and believe me that is not the way I like to travel!

Nina it seems we have a National Day for just about everything else, so I guess one for moving is appropriate.

George Souto hi George, I always like a real estate related "day" to use for a call to action.

Nina, great news for you!   I went to look at the article, and don't see Denver anywhere, but our living costs are getting out of control.

May 27, 2025 09:45 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Joan Cox hi Joan... our home prices are way up, but the cost of living is still reasonable compared with many cities of a similar size.

I have been to Tennessee and quite frankly very surprised to see it so high ranked on the 'move to' list.  Possibly a $$$ move.  My opinion of course.  m
