When I bought my first home in Miami in the early 1990s, mortgage interest rates were typically between 8% and 10%. It's unlikely that we'll see rates as low as 3% again anytime soon. As a result, sellers may need to lower their asking prices to attract buyers, which could lead to lower property valuations.
If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.
I believe that home prices will eventually decline, but for now, it might be wise to consider investing your money in financial markets or gold. The current mortgage rates are very high, and the economy is facing challenges. Additionally, lenders are tightening their requirements for obtaining a mortgage. I estimate that home prices will need to decrease by at least 40%, possibly even 50%, before the market stabilizes. If you're unsure about the best course of action, I recommend consulting with an independent financial advisor who specializes in the market.
“ Rebecca Noblett Roberts’’ is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a meeting.
I'm a hispanic truck driver and I have traveled to most of the states. I always told my family if I had a choice to move, the Carolinas would be my choice. You wouldn't have to go far for a vacation. The mountains, rolling hills, the beach, fishing, hunting, beautiful scenery year round, food, etc. and especially most of the people I've dealt with are "friendly with respect" compared to other states. I mean, you got everything there. The weather is way better than TX too, for sure. Thanks North and South Carolina for the friendly service you have given me for the past 25 years I have been stopping when passing or delivering in your area til this day. I'm in Columbia, S.C. loading back to TX as I post this. Peace 🙂👍
@@ricardovega1764 S. Carolina is worse of the worst. Based on what I see and know. I heard great things about NC. In Jacksonville Florida, Nocatee, St John, oakleaf plantation, Daytona are 👌👌
I was born and raised in NC. That being said the influx of people moving here is making things worse for the long time residents. This year alone, my property taxes doubled. Being retired now, can you imagine the impact that has on me and the people who live here.
Unfortunately without people moving into any state…there’s less growth and opportunities. People coming in help to build up the economy, and businesses. There should be a way to keep things balanced especially for folks who are retired but they don’t even think about those things.
Unfortunately when a state becomes desirable to move in, too many people migrate and the peacefulness that attracted those who migrated will be gone. Overpopulation, cost of living will go up, crime rates will go up, traffic will be hell.
Unfortunately is has already been happening for years, and now the influx of people coming here and trying to tell us how we should do things like they do up north, or Floridiots telling us how we should adapt to their way of life, has ruined the appeal of both Carolinas. And @no.6atutubejail239 hit the nail on the head with the comment of the video being sucker bait, I couldn't agree more.
Both of my parents were born in North Carolina but met in Miami Florida during WWII. I live in Morganton North Carolina near Asheville and Charlotte. But it is mountainous and so beautiful. I moved here from Prince George’s County Maryland outside of Washington DC. I left there in 1989. I’ve wanted to live here since I was 9 years old. And in June of 2024 I have lived here for 35 years. I moved here when I was 28 years old and I’m fixing to be 63 years old.
You posted this some time ago, but I wanted to say that my folks are from NC, as well. Born and raised, and they moved to Washington, DC, where my sister and I were born. I visited my grandparents often in NC, and I and my husband are planning to retire there soon. Currently, I'm in PG County, and have lived here for decades. I'm ready to move, and I hope you're still enjoying the NC life! 😁
North Carolina is really a great state to live in. To see all the growth that’s been happening so fast is crazy. If you want greenery, you will get it here. The state also has a good connection, connecting Charlotte and Raleigh with Amtrak. The Raleigh,Durham metro just really need to invest in a light rail like Charlotte.
@@ommia9085 The Raleigh area to me is more for raising families. The scene out here is pretty chill and more of a laidback feel but style vibrant. Charlotte is more for people who come from Atlanta, DC, NY that are still looking for a balance with night life, luxury shopping, a more hustle bustle feel.
@kingderald6637 oooo I'm so excited to see your comment. I live in the bay area (sf area) of California and am looking to move to burgaw area. What's your take on that area or being close to wilmington ? Please if not a bother 😅lol 😊
If you are in Burgaw, you are going to be a few minutes away from Wilmington. Wilmington is beautiful, I used to live there and went to college there but it has gotten very expensive and traffic can get congested since most of the city is navigated by roads. They have built out with a new highway and that helps. Burgaw is small and quiet, you can venture over to Wilmington for any needs you have. Wilmington has a small airport, but RDU is cheaper for flying. Raleigh will not be too far away, if you are looking for a less expensive area Burgaw will fit. Also, if you love wine, look up the Duplin Winery, it is close by.@@nadineelseudy5835
I have been living in North Carolina for 23 years and this was the most wonderful move we did in our live my husband and I! My children were little when we move from Houston Tx I’m so happy that we could raise our kids in a cleaner environment with less trouble and more dedicated to success in life. North Carolina is just great people very welcoming and respectful!
After this summer in Houston, I'm done. I have LOVED this city (grew up here) but the heat, increased population, crime, etc. has become too much. NC is on my list but, I'm concerned that so many people are moving there...
That’s funny we think the state is beautiful but as far as people wanting to be successful I don’t think so! people from here are delusional for the most part not everyone but a lot I feel like the whole country is becoming wal mart, just saying it’s real sad where do you go !
@@projectkj7643Charlotte has really changed a lot as well as the suburbs around it. And yes I have noticed an increase in crime just make sure you really research where you want to move to and come visit and spend time in each area. Also Charlotte in the summer is nothing to sneeze at either it still gets pretty hot but the humidity is what is rough. Not quite as bad as Houston I’m sure though!
People realize the cost of living has gone up everywhere right ? It’s definitely cheaper for a major metro here in Charlotte just moved here. $1,400 for a nice new luxury apartment back home in Michigan $1,400 would get me an outdated apartment built in 1980’s
Everyone moving here from places that cost more is the reason why it's getting more expensive here. My neighborhood has houses that were being built brand new for like 150-200k in the early 2000's, but are now randomly all being bought up and resold for more than 500k. Not to mention so many of our employers don't like paying people proper wages. Plus, every morning and afternoon the roads are all being blocked by the endless construction of new "luxury townhomes" and apartment complexes after tearing down all of the woods, and open spaces people seem to love about the state so much. Also, crime here sucks, even in "nice areas" because people will just drive to nice areas to commit crime. Human trafficking is pretty bad here according to statistics, but idk how outdated they are. Oh, and that nice 65 degree weather they think they're getting will actually feel like a thick 80 degrees after the humidity steals all of the oxygen, but that doesn't matter because it's been 90+ here, but feeling like 147 degrees for the past few months. Regardless, I feel like anyone is welcome here, so long as Californians, and New Yorkers they don't vote the state into the ground like they did their home states.
I drove into North Carolina a few days ago and gasoline prices jumped by around forty cents a gallon and food prices went up as well. I have been told North Carolina has more construction codes for building private homes.
Highest fuel tax in the south, and a hamburger with fries for $20 is just a ripoff. Just getting a new mobile home set up took 4 months and several permits at $70-$200 a pop. The building codes here are all about controlling what you can and can't build on your own property.
@@jasonwerefreaksbabygenova1804Every county in NC except the most highly populated ones appears to have this issue. Where I live there's 10-foot-wide potholes that the government refuses to fix, even though it's tearing people's axles out. I hate cars so this is funny to me. But to the people driving them I imagine is more infuriating to be driving and suddenly your car's totaled.
I’m born and raised here in Florida. Moved to NC for 3 years for a promising job. In those 3 years, the population exploded and sent rents and prices on everything else to skyrocket. I left. The fact that NC is now more expensive than central FL is mind-boggling. All those transplants are ruining it for lifelong residents. I left and will never return.
I live just outside of Raleigh; I don't want to leave my state but I want to get a few hours away from Raleigh. It's ridiculous and the traffic is awful. Just going to Regal used to take me 20 minutes and now it's like a 40-45-minute drive.
Another 3rd World Dump just like the rest of the Commie USA Chapel Hill 3rd World Pump Dump NYC 3rd World Pump Dump Martha's Vineyard don't want no 3rd World Pump Dump but they claim to support it while trukin the 3rd worlds away from there
i here you, i lived on long island and i had toget out the cost of living is out of control there and i couldn’t wait to leave, i love it here and you will too, i have a 4bedrooms 3 baths and a half townhome and i have a bonus big room witch i made a 🎶 music room, ….🙏👍👍👍👍👍
Been living here for 34 years 10 minutes away from down town. Every place that had a trees is being cleaned to build apartments same with old buildings/houses. Rent is sky high but it’s looking fancier every year. Just sucks for the people who can’t afford it now and have to move away to the country.
NC used to be great but so many people have moved in and tried to change it like the suckhole they moved from that it is rapidly becoming another yuppified cesspool. Family values are going by the wayside and farmland is being taxed out of affordability for families that have owned the land for at least 5 generations...
I'm from North Carolina and still live here I hate that all these outsiders move here and drive up cost on everything. Its not the place I grew up in .
I know exactly what y'all mean I'm from Virginia The same thing is happening here and I also have family there in North Carolina and it's happening even worse there. What a shame the Southern Culture is being ruined all over.
@@Southern_Virginia+ I'm glad I don't see any confederate flags anymore and hearing hicks spew racist remarks because I don't look like them. Great change I say, paying a little more for mutual respect definitely worth it
I live in Charlotte, we have too many people here already. The jobs as a general rule unless you have some specialist skill do not pay that much more than the surrounding areas no matter what the hype says. Cost of living is high, traffic infrastructure is fairly terrible, but on the good side it is actually very easy to make friends or find a date because nobody is originally from Charlotte.
@@ReflexandReaction my reason are as follows: milder seasons (where I live it gets down to 0 and sometimes over 100 degrees), professional sports teams (closest is Seattle - 5 hours away), you have access to swimming in the ocean in the summer, a lake to the north of Charlotte to swim in, and mountains just to the west to ski/snowboard/hike in. You get a bit of everything every season. Also, I have family in Virginia and Florida. Excited to get closer to them. Plus, I work in tech and there are plenty of jobs there for me. What would you say is overrated? I’d love some advice or thoughts from somebody there. I’m just kind of excited mostly to have better weather and activities and family that I don’t see often closer to me and professional sports to go to/root for, oh -- and the BBQ food!
The tolls heading north on I-77 from Charlotte will cost you $20 bucks each way during rush hour. Or you can sit in traffic for 1 1/2 hours Monday - Friday. The city is unaffordable for anyone making less than $26 an hour.
I been living in NC for 10 years now, it used be very affordable and beautiful, but got worse recently as people moved in and made it unsafe and expensive. I am thinking to relocate but have not Shosen any state yet.
I moved to North Carolina 3 years ago and found they have the worst employers I’ve ever seen in North Atlanta I made $17 per hour and in North Carolina I make $24 per hour but I literally make half as much money as I did in Georgia horrible management horrible business owners and do not pretend for a minute that North Carolina is an affordable place to live 🤦🏻♂️
It kinda is. In CA, you can get a townhouse under $800k. And that's a scrappy townhouse. Charlotte is affordable in comparison to the other major metro areas
Y’all tripping, I’m a NC Native prices going up like hell because everyone leaving the big cities to come here making it harder for people that are originally from here. One bedroom apartment was $680 now it’s $1200 🥴

I live in a college town in North Carolina. Which is Sylvs North Carolina. In the past5 years, I know there have been over 200 people move just to my county alone which is Jackson County. Since this has happened. Rent has went on an average of a one bedroom for 7 to 800 a month. To a one bedroom, costing $1200 a month. And if you have pets forget it, you will not find nowhere to rent in Jackson County, North Carolina. I myself am a resident of 25 years and I have been trying to find a home. I can rent for my family for over 5 years. I can't afford it because of the inflation that has happened from wealthy people moving to my town. It has made riot triple. Needless to say, I'm a very mad, sad person. Because this is my town and I love it. Or should I say did😢
This is happening in Lancaster, PA as well. The housing market is crazy and landlords are greedy and charging more than mortgages normally would. Locals are just trying to survive, and watching all the greed happening everywhere.
@@treasuringpricelesstime5962we have some investment rentals and haven't increased rent on existing tenants, except 1, typically we charge a higher price for the following renter, bearing what the marketplace is doing, as it IS a business, not a hobby
You need to do your homework. I live in NC and you are lying. The cost of living is high as hell. Jobs don’t pay good. I don’t know where you are getting this mess from…
Lol 😂… Right 💯. In America, there’s no escaping high cost of living unless you live in a very rural area and have no dreams of progressing in life. Thank you for telling the truth
For Charlotte, it seems that there are a lot of greedy developers. Home prices are high. Floor plans are bad with cramped space. Real estate taxes continued to be reassessed. One could very easily bought into surprises.
It's amazing to see AMC doing well after all the doomsday analyses from naysayers. The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient - warren buffet. It's good to remind people of this right now; you buy on fear and sell on greed or just hold through it all for the long term. It’s easy but lots of people forget.
@WilliamEthan00 Bridget Mary Turow is quite popular on Bloomberg I doubt if there is anyone who is serious about stock trading that doesn't know her.

Great decision. I just moved to Florida 6 months ago from Texas and I can’t wait to get out when my lease ended. Florida economy is a joke and the cost of living is out of whack
If you live anywhere long enough depending on the type of person you are you will always have complaints. I see ppl from other states complaining about the same issues people from NC are complaining about so for me it means the issues are everywhere it’s just what you’re willing to deal with and how you deal.
From MI, moved to NC for 4 years, moved back home last Jan. and my wife and me are extremely happy. Besides the mountains and ocean, we’re glad we moved back home. Better fishing, imo the people are nicer here and though it does get hot in MI, it’s not months of humid blistering heat. NC has its positives but I’ll take this MI weather any day.
They say NC is affordable, the only difference for a 3 bedroom apartments from Raleigh to California is only $200, but you cannot make the mony in NC you are making in CA, NY ...
I have lived in a community 30 minutes from Asheville for 28 years (from Cleveland, Ohio). Much of what is said here is not true. Do your own research.
The power grids here in Charlotte and suburbs are a lot to be desired.. every time there’s a passing thunderstorm, there’s always a region that losses power.. just like 2 days ago, we lost power for 4 hrs.. don’t come here.. it’s getting crowded and traffic was getting bad especially at dusk..except for NASCAR and NFL, there’s nothing to enjoy here…
What's there to enjoy with NASCAR now? Their best drivers have aged out. They have a cultural shift with their new generation of drivers. There is no Kenseth, Johnson, Harvick, Gordon, Stewart, Junior, Newman out there now.
Not worth it unless you're leaving a more expensive state and you've a high paying job waiting for you here. I got my house in 2016 for 162k and I could probably put it on the market for about 350k now. I live in a small town like 45 mins outside of Raleigh.
Please look into the issue of severe drinking water pollutants in parts of North Carolina. This has made the news again recently and is a very big deal.
The city of Raleigh just placed 3rd in the world for quality of its drinking water, so the issue isn't everywhere and one of the places where everyone is moving has excellent tap water.
Hopefully I will be assigned to North Carolina when I get my teaching job offer. I love the overlooking views of the sea from the mountain tops. I love their geography and I can sense NC has a lot more to offer.
If you are a liberal left progressive and are in to this gender identity for kids,critical race THEORY BS PLEEAS STAY UP NORTH DONT BRING YOUR SICK TEACHINGS HERE THERE IS WAY TO MUCH OF THAT HERE YOUR POLITICS RUINED TOUR STATE YOU LIVIE IN IT

I got stationed in NC and it's a great state. My friends visited and said that the food/restaurant prices are low compared to Northeastern US. If like to hunt and fish this is for you. There's also a gorgeous beach near me. The roads are much bigger than DC metro area. However, I wouldn't stay here. It's boring for me and prefer a more busy city life with great night life. All the cities are far apart since NC is large sideways. You definitely need a car to get around.
Our daughter in Greensboro pays more in rent than our daughter in Colorado Springs;( the Toyota plant doubled our taxes and now 5100 jobs open for grabs. Liberty NC only has a population of 2000 so not sure who will give up grandfathered land to build new homes. Gonna get crazy on the small backroads
I live in Charlotte almost all my life and I laughed so hard as soon as the first reason was stated 😂 Yes, Charlotte used to be affordable (depending which part of Charlotte). But now, it’s almost as bad as Denver or New York. And also, people will find that Mecklenburg taxes are ridiculously stupid 😂
Moving from Washington State to Charlotte, NC in a few weeks to live with my brother and get out of my hometown. Also, I have family in Virginia and Florida. I’m excited for the milder seasons, BBQ, pro sports teams, access to both the ocean and mountains, as well as the city of Charlotte itself. My brother suggested Charlotte because he wanted both the mountains and ocean in reach, and I said I’d join him. I’m so excited to see what life is like outside of Washington…you really get the best of everything in NC it seems like
@@AprilJoi5 I moved here about a month ago, and so far it’s been great. The city is beautiful with plenty of friendly people, the weather is a bit better every day, gas is much cheaper and there’s almost no alcohol tax which is cool. Some of the plants and trees are like none I’ve ever seen in Washington, yet in some ways the forests remind me of the northwest. It’s kind of a hybrid woodland scene between Washington and Florida, it’s pretty cool. What are you wondering about specifically? I can probably answer you better that way
It's very pretty and I like it but they still have vehicle inspections and some kind of stupid tax for pickups and I've heard that car insurance is through the roof.
Housing is good we paid over 2k for a one bedroom in Long Island NY and currently we have a 3br 3ba townhouse for under 2k with a garage. The community also have a pool and that’s in NE Raleigh. We have never had a problem with personal safety. If moving here you’re looking for the cheapest area of course you may experience some undesirables. Currently: They do have a homeless population at a couple of the traffic lights that’s sad. We all have to face the fact that the prices we’re use to are long gone. Moving forward is about quality of living for your money, and that’s why people are more here. You can buy a home in the 300k to 1million at least you have options. Also the homes in the 300k-450k or in nice quiet neighborhoods.
@@livewithlynn9349 I was in Charlotte. Had an apartment in uptown, very nice apartment although the neighborhood is questionable; random shooting almost every night. I also had an apartment on Lake Norman. Nice apartment with not much else in the neighborhood. Unless you like fried chicken all the time or Mexican food, nothing worth eating. One thing I did appreciate, I have become a better cook living there for 3 years.
And the crime rate is high. Just like in Phoenix, where i live. Charlotte for example is safer than only 5% of cities in the entire US. Phoenix is 4%. If i want to move to a safer place, which i do, both of these places would be the last places i would ever consider living in.
I think the crime statistics are tweaked. I lived in CA and that was really sketchy every day. Here in Charlotte feels a lot safer. I think states like CA and NY don't register their crimes correctly
We're full, go away. And the cost of living is high, I don't know where you get your info on that, but it's a lie. There are plenty of open jobs, but people are too lazy to work, as long as they can get a government subsidized check they will continue to be lazy. The cost of housing is sky high, rental property owners lost money during the PLANdemic because they weren't allowed to evict for non payment, now to make up that lost rent they tripled the price since 2020, rent on a mobile home is 1200 to 2200 dollars a month. Before the PLANdemic, rent on mobile homes was between 500 and 750 per month. And forget renting a house, unless you're making in the upper 6 figures a year. I'll be retiring in a couple of years and Tennessee or SC is way cheaper for retirees. I never believe what the government, or any other paid survey companies says, I do my own research, and NC is not an efficient state for retired people, well, maybe the retired millionaires, but definitely not the blue collar retirees.
I’m a native to Charlotte. It’s a little expensive here! I live in a small 2 bed apartment in a semi decent quiet area and it’s 2k per month. A lot of people live in sc and commute due to Texas! There is a lot of opportunity here! It is a great place to live but also becoming a little dangerous. My car was vandalized last week and I live in a great neighborhood and park in a private space! The weather here is mild and we have all seasons! Suburbs of Charlotte are more affordable than the city! Definitely recommend concord mooresville or Belmont! We are moving to Texas for better cost of living.
Huh? Big cities in TX have way more crime, the state of TX in general has more crime, TX is more expensive overall, and they also have even more people moving there.
Ehhhh. I lived in Raleigh. Way too expensive for their to be nothing to do. Greensboro boring too but cheaper. Charlotte is amazing though give Charlotte some eater public transportation and it would be a top tier city. Already on complete different level than rest of NC.
I agree! I moved to Raleigh from Nashville Tennessee and Raleigh is trash especially for “us”. I use to work in Charlotte and I love Charlotte. Raleigh is over sold under delivered and under developed.
This video is total BS! If you're comparing North Carolina to the likes of New York New Jersey Massachusetts California and other states in the West such as Washington then yes the cost of living is lower but if you compare North Carolina to other Southern States especially on the East Coast cost of living in the Carolinas is very high home rentals homeownership food is high. So do your due diligence and make the proper comparison in order to disperse the correct information
Yes, and the same can be said for Lancaster, PA. Cheap for those who come from the major money making areas, but the pay isn’t good for the rising prices.
It’s a pretty great state alright. My brother moved there recently after living in Florida for 13 years for a job opportunity. He liked it a lot. It’s got the 4 seasons but the winters aren’t too rough coming from Florida. People are nice and decent, hard working folks. Taxes are a little higher than florida but that’s really the only minus points besides the beaches he says. Sounds like a decent place to move I’d say. I live in florida and absolutely am in love with everything about it. Especially winters here:)
I had the privilege to live in Raleigh for 7mo moving from Miami back in 2018. Everything that was said is spot on BUT... and there are a few BIG BUTS... if you are a W2, Federal and State taxes up to in reality 40%. If you don't live IN the triangle, traffic every single day (at least 1h). If you do (like I had) you can ride your bike but you can easily pay double the rent. DON'T GO TO ER. My son had an ear infection and we rushed with him to the ER. Our (best) insurance covered 8k and we paid out of pocket 300+1600(10 instalments). Only my wife and kids had insurance because I couldn't afford to pay mine (unemployed back then). Those are the really Big ones. All the numbers he shows here are related to living outside of the triangle (where the jobs are). Raleigh was a construction site back then. Buildings everywhere, there's no free space to build houses in the city center and those selling there, are asking millions for it. So... do your research first before moving... cheers
I lived in Charlotte many years ago and loved it. The biggest issues for me were traffic and a lower pay scale. At the time, I worked for Bank of America and was able to purchase a home which I sold when we moved west. I now wish I'd kept it.
The cost of living has risen a lot. It's cheaper to stay in Ohio(most of the midwest now), which I argue many folks move from there to here. I think the better weather in FL should make it more attractive.
Not sure about low cost of living. Housing prices have skyrocketed. I’ve lives here 45 years and the changes are incredible, some good some bad. I wouldn’t compare NC to California or Hawaii. We paid $407,000 for our house in 2017. Now you pay same amount for a house half the size of our house
It used to be low cost now since all the New Yorkers have moved here, it’s high cost, and most people that used to live in North Carolina can’t afford it anymore fact
North Carolina is super boring. Yes you may get a nice house for a decent price yes but, you'll be bored in that house everyday. If you don't mind being bored then this is the place for you. I moved here from south Florida 4 months ago and I'm packing up and moving back in November.
You left out all the bad stuff. Particularly how all the development has made the place a nightmare for people who have known their whole lives what a good place it (was) to live in. Used to be called "the good roads state" - not anymore. And crime? Through the roof. "Pave Paradise, put up a parking lot...."
The education sucks my son just graduated Sanitorium and did not get 1 scholarship they don’t care about grades only sports if on a team you need a 2.0 GPA crazy
Lol 7.4% in a decade? No thanks. Lived in Raleigh, Goldsboro and Fayetteville. Loved the scenery, hated everything else. Lived the past 20 years in Las Vegas, Nevada and love everything about it. By the way, Las Vegas has grown 18.7% over the very same decade and Nevada as a whole, 15% over the same decade.
I’ve lived here my whole life and want to make it clear you won’t be renting anything nice for under $1,000 a month. Not sure how that stat lives up…. Amazing state though!
I won't say what city im in but the cost of living has really gone up in the past 5 years, I am starting to look out of state just to be able to afford to live
It's getting expensive in the Triad and Triangle areas, but the quality of life is still arguably better in comparison to states like NY and California.
Umm, I've lived in Charlotte since 2014. Where are you getting these numbers? Homes are market high and I've never seen rent at $998 in my life. This is very miss leading. NC is closed. Rankings are wrong sorry. 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️

Most people who move here want to make everything thair business. What i do is my business. What you do is yours until you start changing things . Then i got a problem.

it is actually higher and they expect you to make 3 times the rent in order to rent. My daughter has a good job but she cant afford the rent because of this. Most people in NC don't make 3 to 4 thousand dollars a month.
I forgot to tell that food in NC is very expensive! Gardner are very expensive, more than in CA that is for sure, real estate taxes are low compare to CA,one reason I move here! But car ins. Is expensive and home ins. also is expensive. Food id killing my budget!
Me too. I lived in Jacksonville, NC for a few years and always end up on the coast every single weekend. From New Bern, Morehead City, Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle, all the way to Topsail Beach. Anywhere near these places, you're at the best places in NC.
Moved from Rochester, NY to 30 min north of Charlotte 1 1/2 years ago. Good: 1. Beautiful area 2. Lots of trees 3. Lots of opportunity to make money as an entrepreneur Bad: 1. The food sucks!! 2. Lots of dumb, not so friendly people 3. Humidity is way too high (July-Aug) 4. Healthcare is really bad!
As a North Carolinian I can tell you that although there are some great places in the state there are also some less attractive ones as well. The inner coastal plains have some pretty dismal towns that haven't seen the growth of those in the Piedmont region and they are not blessed with the natural beauty of the rolling hills of the Piedmont, the mountainous peaks of the mountain areas or the beauty of the ocean front areas. In between the Piedmont and ocean is a large swath of low sandy terrain covered in pine and scrub oaks. Geologically, this is the remnant soils left behind when the Atlantic ocean receded due to the separation of the North American and Africa continents. This area of land dropped and was separated due to fault lines from the Piedmont and Mountain areas to the west. Estimates of between a few dozen feet (west) to thousand of feet (east) of sand were deposited over the basement rock and soil in the coastal plains area. This sand is full of organic material in places, loamy and in general not the best composition to support hardwood growth. It does however support pine trees, tobacco, soy beans, etc. The area also does not have much in the way of scenic overall. However there are developed towns like Fayetteville who grew due to military influence and Southern Pines which became a golfing retirement community and these areas have found nitches that brought in growth but more so than not, the coastal plains are dotted with small towns who lost what industry that they had long ago and their business dried up and they have become ghost towns on the way to somewhere else. One look at a map of North Carolina and you can see this with all the larger cities to the east of I-95 and almost nothing till you get to the coast. This areas is geologically known as the "fall-line" which is the transitional divide between the Piedmont and coastal plains. If you take a map of NC and draw a line between Richmond County to the southern border up to Roanoke Rapids along the northern border with Virginia, this is approx. the fall-line. It isn't a perfectly straight line but that is pretty close. Anything to the east of that line be it socially, economically, politically, etc. has been less successful than that of areas west of that line. However, this diversity is what makes NC so unique from its mountains to its coast and everything in between, there is something here for everyone.
These channels be so behind on facts smh! Alot of these places are far from cheap nowadays! Cheap compared to L.A and New York yes but that's about it!
We get a lot in return to be near NYC. If you are not interested in culture, food, convenient air travel, diversity, education, safety, then, maybe Charlotte is for you.
When I bought my first home in Miami in the early 1990s, mortgage interest rates were typically between 8% and 10%. It's unlikely that we'll see rates as low as 3% again anytime soon. As a result, sellers may need to lower their asking prices to attract buyers, which could lead to lower property valuations.
If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.
I believe that home prices will eventually decline, but for now, it might be wise to consider investing your money in financial markets or gold. The current mortgage rates are very high, and the economy is facing challenges. Additionally, lenders are tightening their requirements for obtaining a mortgage. I estimate that home prices will need to decrease by at least 40%, possibly even 50%, before the market stabilizes. If you're unsure about the best course of action, I recommend consulting with an independent financial advisor who specializes in the market.
Do you mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service?

@@ricardovega1764 S. Carolina is worse of the worst. Based on what I see and know. I heard great things about NC. In Jacksonville Florida, Nocatee, St John, oakleaf plantation, Daytona are 👌👌
I was born and raised in NC. That being said the influx of people moving here is making things worse for the long time residents. This year alone, my property taxes doubled. Being retired now, can you imagine the impact that has on me and the people who live here.
Unfortunately without people moving into any state…there’s less growth and opportunities. People coming in help to build up the economy, and businesses. There should be a way to keep things balanced especially for folks who are retired but they don’t even think about those things.

How does the influx affect your PROPERTY tax? Elaborate
@@no.6atutubejail239 sorry for you folks that are victims of Gentifrication.
Unfortunately when a state becomes desirable to move in, too many people migrate and the peacefulness that attracted those who migrated will be gone. Overpopulation, cost of living will go up, crime rates will go up, traffic will be hell.
Unfortunately is has already been happening for years, and now the influx of people coming here and trying to tell us how we should do things like they do up north, or Floridiots telling us how we should adapt to their way of life, has ruined the appeal of both Carolinas.

Both of my parents were born in North Carolina but met in Miami Florida during WWII. I live in Morganton North Carolina near Asheville and Charlotte. But it is mountainous and so beautiful. I moved here from Prince George’s County Maryland outside of Washington DC. I left there in 1989. I’ve wanted to live here since I was 9 years old. And in June of 2024 I have lived here for 35 years. I moved here when I was 28 years old and I’m fixing to be 63 years old.
You posted this some time ago, but I wanted to say that my folks are from NC, as well. Born and raised, and they moved to Washington, DC, where my sister and I were born. I visited my grandparents often in NC, and I and my husband are planning to retire there soon.
Currently, I'm in PG County, and have lived here for decades. I'm ready to move, and I hope you're still enjoying the NC life! 😁
North Carolina is really a great state to live in. To see all the growth that’s been happening so fast is crazy. If you want greenery, you will get it here. The state also has a good connection, connecting Charlotte and Raleigh with Amtrak. The Raleigh,Durham metro just really need to invest in a light rail like Charlotte.
Anything else you can comment on? I’m debating between Charlotte and Raleigh 🎉
@@ommia9085 The Raleigh area to me is more for raising families. The scene out here is pretty chill and more of a laidback feel but style vibrant. Charlotte is more for people who come from Atlanta, DC, NY that are still looking for a balance with night life, luxury shopping, a more hustle bustle feel.
@kingderald6637 oooo I'm so excited to see your comment. I live in the bay area (sf area) of California and am looking to move to burgaw area. What's your take on that area or being close to wilmington ? Please if not a bother 😅lol 😊
yes it is👍👍👍👍
If you are in Burgaw, you are going to be a few minutes away from Wilmington. Wilmington is beautiful, I used to live there and went to college there but it has gotten very expensive and traffic can get congested since most of the city is navigated by roads. They have built out with a new highway and that helps. Burgaw is small and quiet, you can venture over to Wilmington for any needs you have. Wilmington has a small airport, but RDU is cheaper for flying. Raleigh will not be too far away, if you are looking for a less expensive area Burgaw will fit. Also, if you love wine, look up the Duplin Winery, it is close by.@@nadineelseudy5835
Its not cheap to live in NC. Farm land and Forrest are being destroyed for housing developments and solar farms. Its sad.😢
Same thing is happening in the town I live in. And it's very sad they're destroying our town.

I have been living in North Carolina for 23 years and this was the most wonderful move we did in our live my husband and I! My children were little when we move from Houston Tx I’m so happy that we could raise our kids in a cleaner environment with less trouble and more dedicated to success in life. North Carolina is just great people very welcoming and respectful!
After this summer in Houston, I'm done. I have LOVED this city (grew up here) but the heat, increased population, crime, etc. has become too much. NC is on my list but, I'm concerned that so many people are moving there...
That’s funny we think the state is beautiful but as far as people wanting to be successful I don’t think so! people from here are delusional for the most part not everyone but a lot I feel like the whole country is becoming wal mart, just saying it’s real sad where do you go !

Everyone moving here from places that cost more is the reason why it's getting more expensive here. My neighborhood has houses that were being built brand new for like 150-200k in the early 2000's, but are now randomly all being bought up and resold for more than 500k. Not to mention so many of our employers don't like paying people proper wages. Plus, every morning and afternoon the roads are all being blocked by the endless construction of new "luxury townhomes" and apartment complexes after tearing down all of the woods, and open spaces people seem to love about the state so much. Also, crime here sucks, even in "nice areas" because people will just drive to nice areas to commit crime. Human trafficking is pretty bad here according to statistics, but idk how outdated they are. Oh, and that nice 65 degree weather they think they're getting will actually feel like a thick 80 degrees after the humidity steals all of the oxygen, but that doesn't matter because it's been 90+ here, but feeling like 147 degrees for the past few months. Regardless, I feel like anyone is welcome here, so long as Californians, and New Yorkers they don't vote the state into the ground like they did their home states.
You could be describing Lancaster, PA… same exact situation here.
Sounds like u should've bought one of those houses and took advantage of the time not let big cats do it , gas was 1.99 back then too lol

THANK THE DEMOCRATS for destroying their states witch forces people to leave.
I drove into North Carolina a few days ago and gasoline prices jumped by around forty cents a gallon and food prices went up as well. I have been told North Carolina has more construction codes for building private homes.
Highest fuel tax in the south, and a hamburger with fries for $20 is just a ripoff. Just getting a new mobile home set up took 4 months and several permits at $70-$200 a pop. The building codes here are all about controlling what you can and can't build on your own property.

Some of the plants and trees are like none I’ve ever seen in Washington, yet in some ways the forests remind me of the northwest. It’s kind of a hybrid woodland scene between Washington and Florida, it’s pretty cool. What are you wondering about specifically? I can probably answer you better that way
It's very pretty and I like it but they still have vehicle inspections and some kind of stupid tax for pickups and I've heard that car insurance is through the roof.
That's music to my ears because I'm moving there and sell car/home insurance as a profession! Lol.
Education sucks; health care sucks; personal safety sucks; housing sucks; everything sucks…. Don’t more there!
Housing is good we paid over 2k for a one bedroom in Long Island NY and currently we have a 3br 3ba townhouse for under 2k with a garage. The community also have a pool and that’s in NE Raleigh. We have never had a problem with personal safety. If moving here you’re looking for the cheapest area of course you may experience some undesirables.
Currently: They do have a homeless population at a couple of the traffic lights that’s sad. We all have to face the fact that the prices we’re use to are long gone. Moving forward is about quality of living for your money, and that’s why people are more here. You can buy a home in the 300k to 1million at least you have options. Also the homes in the 300k-450k or in nice quiet neighborhoods.
@@livewithlynn9349 I was in Charlotte. Had an apartment in uptown, very nice apartment although the neighborhood is questionable; random shooting almost every night. I also had an apartment on Lake Norman. Nice apartment with not much else in the neighborhood. Unless you like fried chicken all the time or Mexican food, nothing worth eating. One thing I did appreciate, I have become a better cook living there for 3 years.
And the crime rate is high. Just like in Phoenix, where i live. Charlotte for example is safer than only 5% of cities in the entire US. Phoenix is 4%. If i want to move to a safer place, which i do, both of these places would be the last places i would ever consider living in.
I think the crime statistics are tweaked. I lived in CA and that was really sketchy every day. Here in Charlotte feels a lot safer. I think states like CA and NY don't register their crimes correctly
We're full, go away. And the cost of living is high, I don't know where you get your info on that, but it's a lie. There are plenty of open jobs, but people are too lazy to work, as long as they can get a government subsidized check they will continue to be lazy. The cost of housing is sky high, rental property owners lost money during the PLANdemic because they weren't allowed to evict for non payment, now to make up that lost rent they tripled the price since 2020, rent on a mobile home is 1200 to 2200 dollars a month. Before the PLANdemic, rent on mobile homes was between 500 and 750 per month. And forget renting a house, unless you're making in the upper 6 figures a year. I'll be retiring in a couple of years and Tennessee or SC is way cheaper for retirees. I never believe what the government, or any other paid survey companies says, I do my own research, and NC is not an efficient state for retired people, well, maybe the retired millionaires, but definitely not the blue collar retirees.
Moved there… and don’t get the hype. There are way better places in the country.
Exactly
I’m a native to Charlotte. It’s a little expensive here! I live in a small 2 bed apartment in a semi decent quiet area and it’s 2k per month. A lot of people live in sc and commute due to Texas! There is a lot of opportunity here! It is a great place to live but also becoming a little dangerous. My car was vandalized last week and I live in a great neighborhood and park in a private space! The weather here is mild and we have all seasons! Suburbs of Charlotte are more affordable than the city! Definitely recommend concord mooresville or Belmont!
We are moving to Texas for better cost of living.
Texas is more expensive than NC. It seems like you need to do some new research about Texas
@@Freeman-x3qTennessee is where you should go.
Texas is so ugly. After the natural beauty of Carolins, Texas is ugly by comparison. And then, Texans...
Huh? Big cities in TX have way more crime, the state of TX in general has more crime, TX is more expensive overall, and they also have even more people moving there.
Ehhhh. I lived in Raleigh. Way too expensive for their to be nothing to do. Greensboro boring too but cheaper. Charlotte is amazing though give Charlotte some eater public transportation and it would be a top tier city. Already on complete different level than rest of NC.
I agree! I moved to Raleigh from Nashville Tennessee and Raleigh is trash especially for “us”. I use to work in Charlotte and I love Charlotte. Raleigh is over sold under delivered and under developed.
This video is total BS! If you're comparing North Carolina to the likes of New York New Jersey Massachusetts California and other states in the West such as Washington then yes the cost of living is lower but if you compare North Carolina to other Southern States especially on the East Coast cost of living in the Carolinas is very high home rentals homeownership food is high. So do your due diligence and make the proper comparison in order to disperse the correct information
Yes, and the same can be said for Lancaster, PA. Cheap for those who come from the major money making areas, but the pay isn’t good for the rising prices.
The low cost of living.Is not there anymore?My property taxes have doubled this yes
Plus biological bill has doubled too this bullshit
NC does not have affordable housing the shacks in the mtns are now 500,000 and that is a shack unreal
Born and raised in Wilmington. Moved to VA then back in ‘19. Im asking the same question
Its a great state
I'm from Greensboro NC, I moved to Norfolk VA in 2019. I love it here. Virginia is a much better state in my opinion.
It’s a pretty great state alright. My brother moved there recently after living in Florida for 13 years for a job opportunity. He liked it a lot. It’s got the 4 seasons but the winters aren’t too rough coming from Florida. People are nice and decent, hard working folks. Taxes are a little higher than florida but that’s really the only minus points besides the beaches he says. Sounds like a decent place to move I’d say. I live in florida and absolutely am in love with everything about it. Especially winters here:)
Own nothing and be happy. Wait till he gets older when that kind of life is no longer appealing.
I had the privilege to live in Raleigh for 7mo moving from Miami back in 2018. Everything that was said is spot on
BUT... and there are a few BIG BUTS...
if you are a W2, Federal and State taxes up to in reality 40%.
If you don't live IN the triangle, traffic every single day (at least 1h). If you do (like I had) you can ride your bike but you can easily pay double the rent.
DON'T GO TO ER. My son had an ear infection and we rushed with him to the ER. Our (best) insurance covered 8k and we paid out of pocket 300+1600(10 instalments). Only my wife and kids had insurance because I couldn't afford to pay mine (unemployed back then).
Those are the really Big ones.
All the numbers he shows here are related to living outside of the triangle (where the jobs are). Raleigh was a construction site back then. Buildings everywhere, there's no free space to build houses in the city center and those selling there, are asking millions for it. So... do your research first before moving... cheers
I live in NC for almost three decades and this state is not all rainbows and butterflies. I’m still trying to move out of NC!
Another 3rd World Dump just like the rest of the Commie USA .. Look at San Francisco now DUMP CTY ..
@lovelyasian where are looking to relocate to?
I live here in Charlotte and it is expensive. I think Charlotte is overated
I lived in Charlotte many years ago and loved it. The biggest issues for me were traffic and a lower pay scale. At the time, I worked for Bank of America and was able to purchase a home which I sold when we moved west. I now wish I'd kept it.
I think you haven't tried hard enough, after 30 years.
The cost of living has risen a lot. It's cheaper to stay in Ohio(most of the midwest now), which I argue many folks move from there to here. I think the better weather in FL should make it more attractive.
Very interesting, please can you do that for Georgia I did some research but if you do something like NC will be great 😊
Not sure about low cost of living. Housing prices have skyrocketed. I’ve lives here 45 years and the changes are incredible, some good some bad. I wouldn’t compare NC to California or Hawaii. We paid $407,000 for our house in 2017. Now you pay same amount for a house half the size of our house
It used to be low cost now since all the New Yorkers have moved here, it’s high cost, and most people that used to live in North Carolina can’t afford it anymore fact
North Carolina is super boring. Yes you may get a nice house for a decent price yes but, you'll be bored in that house everyday. If you don't mind being bored then this is the place for you.
I moved here from south Florida 4 months ago and I'm packing up and moving back in November.
Good, don't ever come back.
@@BishopWalters12 I won't! And stay miserable
@@shellzhimself Keep crying buttercup.
NC has low cost of living??? You must be kidding
Rent and home prices are going up
You left out all the bad stuff. Particularly how all the development has made the place a nightmare for people who have known their whole lives what a good place it (was) to live in. Used to be called "the good roads state" - not anymore. And crime? Through the roof. "Pave Paradise, put up a parking lot...."
I lived in north Carolina for 14years loved it
The education sucks my son just graduated Sanitorium and did not get 1 scholarship they don’t care about grades only sports if on a team you need a 2.0 GPA crazy
That’s the parents job not the school.
Direct result of parenting.
A 2.0 GPA is hard to get?
Lol 7.4% in a decade? No thanks. Lived in Raleigh, Goldsboro and Fayetteville. Loved the scenery, hated everything else. Lived the past 20 years in Las Vegas, Nevada and love everything about it. By the way, Las Vegas has grown 18.7% over the very same decade and Nevada as a whole, 15% over the same decade.
I’ve lived here my whole life and want to make it clear you won’t be renting anything nice for under $1,000 a month. Not sure how that stat lives up…. Amazing state though!
I won't say what city im in but the cost of living has really gone up in the past 5 years, I am starting to look out of state just to be able to afford to live
It's getting expensive in the Triad and Triangle areas, but the quality of life is still arguably better in comparison to states like NY and California.
You get what you pay for.
And In NC you get Nazi and Confederate flags.
Umm, I've lived in Charlotte since 2014. Where are you getting these numbers? Homes are market high and I've never seen rent at $998 in my life. This is very miss leading. NC is closed. Rankings are wrong sorry. 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
You couldn’t even rent a collapsing rusted trailer for 998 in Florida
Yes I just shared the same thing. New homes which are not that big and are jammed together are going for $500,000.00!!! That's NOT cheap living.
that about the price of a trailer now in NC@@madslist
as a north carolina native hhate seeing yall out of state license plates yall just keep poppin up ,, at least if yall gonna move here GET THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE LICENSE PLATE!!!!
like geez why yall keep them tags and yall kno yall hhate where u just moved from
😂😂 stop hating
@@JaySmith-hy4wpgo home
The cost of living dont match the pay
move to South Africa the coast of living is really cheap and it's beautiful
Thanks for a great video!
Everything you heard here is wrong
Californians let’s move to North Carolina. Because everything is so cheap and affordable 😂😂😂
No more liberals please
We're closed, population has just exceeded it's limits.
😂😂😂
I lived in Raleigh, Knightdale, Durham NC. I had a very negative impact in my life,and I do not plan to go back ever in my life.
What happened?
I had a friend that I loved her as my sister ,and she betrayed me.
Longtimers i know including my family are thinking about moving because of the way things are going for us .
You dont move to another state and change it to the reason you moved from the state your from and the reasons you moved in the first place ...
Leave our state , laws , alone .
Dont change us we Dont like it .
Most of us are set in our ways and like Our State the way it was before you got here .
Stay the hell out of our lives .
Most people who move here want to make everything thair business.
What i do is my business. What you do is yours until you start changing things .
Then i got a problem.
Unlike you, the government knows in order to make money. You have to cater to the ones who are bringing it, not some Jim Bob who doesn't invest in shit
@@shinyamada488 darlin I invest in my state everyday.
I pay taxes at the store dealership my phone plus I pay when I get paid .
Yes I do invest in this state .
@@shinyamada488We're not catering to y'all Yankee bitches, If you don't like that then go home.
These people are lying and after the pandemic they raised rent I paid $750 now $1050
I would love to pay $1050!
That’s life everywhere today. Get used to it. Inflation is a bitch.
it is actually higher and they expect you to make 3 times the rent in order to rent. My daughter has a good job but she cant afford the rent because of this. Most people in NC don't make 3 to 4 thousand dollars a month.
Cost of living is up and makes that point irrelevant
I forgot to tell that food in NC is very expensive! Gardner are very expensive, more than in CA that is for sure, real estate taxes are low compare to CA,one reason I move here! But car ins. Is expensive and home ins. also is expensive. Food id killing my budget!
I love vacationing on the coast of North Carolina!
Me too. I lived in Jacksonville, NC for a few years and always end up on the coast every single weekend. From New Bern, Morehead City, Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle, all the way to Topsail Beach. Anywhere near these places, you're at the best places in NC.
Excellent thank you for the great information!
Moved from Rochester, NY to 30 min north of Charlotte 1 1/2 years ago.
Good:
1. Beautiful area
2. Lots of trees
3. Lots of opportunity to make money as an entrepreneur
Bad:
1. The food sucks!!
2. Lots of dumb, not so friendly people
3. Humidity is way too high (July-Aug)
4. Healthcare is really bad!
regarding 2, you sure you didn't meet californians? 🤣
Do us a favor and go back to the dump you came from loud mouth yankee.
As a North Carolinian I can tell you that although there are some great places in the state there are also some less attractive ones as well. The inner coastal plains have some pretty dismal towns that haven't seen the growth of those in the Piedmont region and they are not blessed with the natural beauty of the rolling hills of the Piedmont, the mountainous peaks of the mountain areas or the beauty of the ocean front areas. In between the Piedmont and ocean is a large swath of low sandy terrain covered in pine and scrub oaks. Geologically, this is the remnant soils left behind when the Atlantic ocean receded due to the separation of the North American and Africa continents. This area of land dropped and was separated due to fault lines from the Piedmont and Mountain areas to the west. Estimates of between a few dozen feet (west) to thousand of feet (east) of sand were deposited over the basement rock and soil in the coastal plains area. This sand is full of organic material in places, loamy and in general not the best composition to support hardwood growth. It does however support pine trees, tobacco, soy beans, etc. The area also does not have much in the way of scenic overall. However there are developed towns like Fayetteville who grew due to military influence and Southern Pines which became a golfing retirement community and these areas have found nitches that brought in growth but more so than not, the coastal plains are dotted with small towns who lost what industry that they had long ago and their business dried up and they have become ghost towns on the way to somewhere else. One look at a map of North Carolina and you can see this with all the larger cities to the east of I-95 and almost nothing till you get to the coast. This areas is geologically known as the "fall-line" which is the transitional divide between the Piedmont and coastal plains. If you take a map of NC and draw a line between Richmond County to the southern border up to Roanoke Rapids along the northern border with Virginia, this is approx. the fall-line. It isn't a perfectly straight line but that is pretty close. Anything to the east of that line be it socially, economically, politically, etc. has been less successful than that of areas west of that line. However, this diversity is what makes NC so unique from its mountains to its coast and everything in between, there is something here for everyone.
These channels be so behind on facts smh! Alot of these places are far from cheap nowadays! Cheap compared to L.A and New York yes but that's about it!
Outdated information then?
@@superwealthy4653 LOL you must have no life at all if you're going around making corrections to internet comments!
We get a lot in return to be near NYC. If you are not interested in culture, food, convenient air travel, diversity, education, safety, then, maybe Charlotte is for you.
@@danielang6595you’ve been suckered into over paying for living and don’t even know it. Safety, education .. lol
BUT YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THAT THE PAY WAGES ON THE JOBS ARE A LOT LESS THE MINIMUM WAGE IN NORTH CAROLINA IS STILL ONLY $7.25 AN HOUR .
I wish more people would stay home and not move here.
thanks for the useful video.
Wait until the remote worker are asked to go to office again
