Everyone is moving to cities? There is no way I would leave my five acres in the middle of nowhere and move to a city

[Sophesi]

10-Charlotte, N.C. 9- Boise, Idaho,   8- Huntsville Alabama,  7-Houston Tx,  
6-Greenville S.C, 5-Salisbury, Maryland, 4-Raleigh NC.  3- Fort Meyer, Florida $,  
2- Franklin, Tennesse,   1- Myrtle Beach, SC. I think as we see New Yorkers flee many will choose to remain in the eastern part of the U.S.

Moved to Conway, SC 13 yrs ago from Baltimore, MD. Only 20min away from the beach. It has been the best move of our lives.

Moved to Myrtle Beach 3 years ago, the growth here in just 3 years is mind blowing. Too many people here now with major increases in traffic congestion. They are cutting down trees like crazy to make room for houses, so many developments have gone in in just 3 years. The secret is out about this place and all it has to offer and the influx is making it way less desirable to be here than just 3 years ago. Myrtle Beach gets 19 million tourists each year which makes April - September crazy busy everywhere you go. Insurance costs here have also gone through the roof, not as bad as Florida but still bad like 50% increase from last year bad.

Let’s be honest, the average American can’t afford a home in any of these price ranges.

[alisonaicard]

You successfully talked me out of all those locations!

[stennablue]

It is expensive EVERYWHERE! The cost of living and economy have increased in (all places)....no getting away from the out rages prices that have sky-rocketed over the last four years!!

[matthewjorgenson]

I guess affordable these days is between $300, 000-$500, 000

Seems insane to me!!!

As a 29 year old it’s wild that more people don’t see these prices as outrageous.

We seriously need to as a country to build more affordable homes like we did post WWII.

My parents bought a modest home in the early 90s and even with interest rates being higher then compared to now. Homes are twice as expensive to get in the door.

Anyway I digress.

I like these videos that tell where everyone is moving to so I can be sure to avoid those places. (Lots of Californians have moved to Franklin and Nashville, further driving up the home prices there.)

I had loved living in North Carolina for the past 30 years for so many reasons. The weather is lovely most of the year, the people are friendly, housing has been affordable and cost of living is reasonable. Well, my love affair with the Raleigh/Durham NC area is officially over. I wish I could afford to move somewhere else, but the cost of housing and the interest rates keep me in this area. The influx of new residents has been overwhelming and unmanageable on every level. The infrastructure cannot handle the growth, the traffic is horrific and there is construction EVERYWHERE . Additionally, the bedroom communities surrounding the Raleigh/Durham area are also overcrowded, the schools are unequipped to handle the growth. Even the newest schools that were recently built have children attending classes in trailers. It is quite evident that no thought or planning have gone into handling burgeoning growth. If you are thinking of moving to this area, I would think again.

I’ve been searching online for a place to retire for a year and a half. I’ll be 62 this month and live on the central coast of California. I’ve looked at every one of the cities in your list. In the 18 mos since I started most of them have increased in price noticeably . I want a place where I can have my horse reasonably and not have to deal with too much humidity or snow. Probably will go to North Carolina or South Carolina but will avoid these known places where everyone is heading.
I’d love to hear a video for horse lover retirees ! Not another mountain biker ! I’m even considering Mexico!

Boise was made to look more forested than it is. It has planted trees, but it is really high desert and the surrounding foothills are pretty barren.
It’s a bit of a drive to the forest. FYI

I've lived in Florida most of my life, more than 50 years, and here's my insider take on the current situation. While it is true that there is no income tax, state and local governments have found plenty of sneaky ways to tax residents. The property taxes (run by the counties) have gone through the roof, and if you plan to live here only part of the year, you have an additional property tax burden that year-around residents do not have. There is a major homeowners insurance crisis going on. In the past four years, our homeowners has gone from $2100 per year to $8000 this year, and I expect they'll try to bump it to $10, 000 next year. We do not have a mansion, we have a small single family home! Part of the problem was a poorly designed law that let homeowners assign their benefits to a construction firm, and then the construction firms would do excessive repairs, the insurance company would balk at covering these overages, then the construction firms sue the insurance companies to make up the difference. Multiply that by tens of thousands of lawsuits and a series of devastating hurricanes in the past five years, and the insurance firms were forced to raise their rates. But now insurance is so high it is more than some people's annual mortgage payments. Two of my neighbors have sold their houses and moved out of state. When they say "everyone's moving to Florida", but there is an existing housing shortage in Florida, guess which homes those new people are moving into? The houses of people leaving Florida. Other issues to consider: it is now more than 100 degrees for weeks/months on end in the summer, with 90% humidity. That stuff can kill you. When I was growing up it rarely hit 100 degrees here, but not anymore. Cost of living: the author of this video is correct, the daily cost of living in Florida is very high, groceries are much more expensive, electricity is more expensive and you cannot live without air conditioning, fuel is expensive, too. An additional cost that is rarely mentioned is that tropical weather is hell on buildings, and home repairs are expensive here. And...we have an absolute plague of short-term rentals in Florida, driving down available housing, driving up housing costs and rents, and generally not being fun to live near.

Thank you Jerry, that was an informative video. I moved out of South FL almost 20 years ago and never looked back. I settled in North Carolina; 10 years in the Waynesville area and now in Mooresville /Lake Norman area (20 miles north of Charlotte). The weather is great most of the time; winters are mild and summers can be hot but this is the South... This has been a very popular area, many new homes are being built. I just wish the infrastructure would keep up with the increasing population; the main thoroughfares through Mooresville desperately need to be widened but have been put off many times by the DOT. We will be moving back to the mountains of NC in a few years when we retire; the Asheville area is our destination.

I moved from the Hudson Valley in upstate NY to N. Ga years ago and never looked back. The people in my town are amazing and it's just a wonderful town to live in. The only thing miss is snow😊

My husband and I just moved from the Northern Virginia area where we’ve lived for over 20 years. We wanted a slower pace for retirement. We just built a home in a small but growing town just outside of Savannah Georgia. We love it. Short drive to historic downtown Savannah with all its great restaurants and shops and beautiful oak trees. Less than an hour to the beaches, two hours to Charleston or Jacksonville for a day trip, beautiful islands and marshland surrounding coastal Georgia. And if we get really home sick for the big city or I need a serious shopping fix, Atlanta is just four hours away for a weekend trip. Plus the mountains are about five hours away if we really want to get away from it all. Our retirement dream come true.

Have you ever thought about doing a list of affordable home’s and wages for senior citizens???? I have a few senior friends who are looking to move out of Florida, it’s getting very expensive here! I just can’t take the cold winters up north!

[sandrameyer]

You need to consider high humidity and cold winters in some of these places, esp if you are coming from a state with mild less extreme weather. The energy bills can really get high and may affect your lifestyle esp if you like to be outdoors. I grew up in San Diego and moved to Nashville and Atlanta for a long time. Now im back in SD county. I personally never adjusted to the weather there, the pollen season, the high humidity, cold winters, bugs and lyme disease threats are very real. Things you dont realize when you dont live there everyday. Constantly picking off ticks when outside. Every place is not perfect and has its share of problems, costs etc.

My wife and I are moving from the San Francisco Bay area to Raleigh. We are so excited and looking forward to it. We actually began the process back in 2019 when we purchased a home in Raleigh. We were planning on making the move when COVID hit so it delayed us for a while. We are finally about to call Raleigh Home and couldn't be happier.
