Job market & rental housing in NC?

I've got gypsy feet and am scouting out different areas...
while I've not got current definite plans to move YET
I so want to....I miss the southern region but I do not want to return to my native Georgia - at least I don't think I do LOL

at any rate, thought I'd ask what's the job market like there?  Rental housing - is it affordable and available and decent?

Anything else you can share about the great state of North Carolina??

TIA!!

It gets way more expensive the closer to the coast you go
Best of Luck to you!! North Carolina is a great state to call home!!!

TY!  I'm okay not living near or on the coast - just knowing it's driving distance would be enough for me LOL

I am originally from MI and have lived in the Charlotte area of NC for the past 15 years and love it.  I don't know about the rental housing here but the job market is still fairly good compared to other parts of the country.  

Take care and good luck on your decision!

Thanks Pam!  Anything you wanna share about the weather maybe????

I'm in MinneSNOWtahhhhh and you being from MI - can relate I'm sure!

The weather here is wonderful and i would say comparable to Atlanta GA.   If we get snow, the city closes down and we get what I call a day off from God.  It normally melts overnight.   We also get ice storms occasionally but again the city closes down.

If you want to see the classified ads from the Charlotte area, just go to Charlotte.com and click on classifieds.

How did a southern gal get to MN?    Must have been for love..lol.

Good luck, Pam

 yes, love
what was I thinking LOL

weather sounds good to me!!!  I'm stoked!

Thanks for all the info!

NC is one of the few states that still has great housing and job growth.

Depending on what you wanna do after you get here, there are two major metro areas (Charlotte and Raleigh/RTP/Durham).  We live an hour east of Raleigh in a "bedroom" community.. and from what I've seen, the pricing is quite a bit less than in Raleigh.

If you are looking at the Raleigh area, I'd be happy to send you classified from tomorrow's Sunday paper.  I get them every week just for the coupons.. but I'd be happy to send you the pieces I don't need.

Lemme know if there's anything I can do to help ya out.  You know that Angela from the DS board lives in this area, right?

did not know that!  I'd love the classifieds.....it'd really help me to see for myself

I'll PM you my info!!

Thanks girl!

Hi, I just happen to be a Realtor in the southeast section of NC.  Offices in Wilmington and Lake Waccamaw. The Wilmington area is one of the fastest growing part of our state.  Check out the Wilmington Star News Classified for job listing and rental info.  If you need anything more specific that I can help you with let me know.
