Americans are on the move according to the U.S. Census Bureau and more than 36 million people relocated in 2012!  This is an increase from 2011’s record low move rate of 35.1 million.   Several  people stayed within the same county, but numerous people packed their bags and moved to a different state.  The information was provided by Penske Truck Rental.  They showed that warmer climates were the biggest impetus to move last year! 

Top 10 Moving Destinations in the U.S.

10. Sarasota, Florida
Located on Florida’s Gulf Coast, Sarasota is home to Siesta Key Beach, which ranked one of the top three beaches in the U.S. for four years in a row. In addition to its fine white sand and calm blue waters, Sarasota is the perfect place to enjoy boat rides, eco-tours, world-class restaurants and more. With a median home sale price of $165,000, according to online real estate firm Trulia.com, housing is affordable for many middle-income families.

9. Charlotte, N.C.
Charlotte is a major U.S. financial center, with Bank of America and the East Coast operations of Wells Fargo both headquartered here. In 2011, the city was named the second largest financial center by assets, behind New York City. Nicknamed “The Queen City,” Charlotte is home to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, more than 40 public golf courses and plenty of other big-city attractions. On average, homes sell for around $162,000.

8. Seattle
It’s certainly not warm and sunny, but Seattle offers residents a little bit of everything. Check out the city’s gorgeous mountain and water views from the famous Space Needle, or enjoy the generally mild temperatures and locally grown food at Pike Place Market. Homes sell for a median price of $362,500; if you have more to spend, check out the unique houseboats — a la “Sleepless in Seattle” — on Lake Union. They’re more expensive than a traditional home but offer a one-of-a-kind living experience.

7. Denver
Denver is the perfect blend of big city and mountain living. A short drive from the Rocky Mountains, the “mile high” city draws residents who want to work hard and play harder — outside. From skiing and snowboarding in the winter to mountain biking and hiking in the summer, there’s always something to do. The weather is generally mild, with super-hot and below-freezing days peppered in for good measure. For all its perks, Denver’s home prices are reasonable — the median home sale price is $233,950.

6. Houston
Winters in Houston are mild, to say the least. Temperatures average in the mid-60’s December through February, and are well into the 70s by the time March rolls around. If you like mild winters, hot summers and Southern hospitality, Houston is the place for you. There are plenty of employment opportunities, and homes sell for a median price of $124,050. For that price, you’ll have plenty of cash left over to enjoy the countless restaurants and shops Houston has to offer.

5. Chicago
Residents of the Second City enjoy food from all over the world, thanks to Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods, and entertainment that ranges from the world-famous Joffrey Ballet to local rock bands. Public transit moves residents easily from neighborhood to neighborhood, so a car is unnecessary, and the median home sale price is $190,000 — a steal for a home in a large city.

4. Orlando, Florida
It’s well-known as the home to Disney World, but Orlando isn’t just Mickey Mouse. It’s also one of the world’s largest golf destinations and home to more pro golfers than any other city in the world. But you don’t have to hit the links to enjoy the city. Locals relish fishing, boating and other outdoor activities in the year-round warm weather. Homes are inexpensive, with the median home sale price hovering around $116,000.

3. Phoenix
If you love warm, sunny weather, Phoenix is for you. The average temperature is 70 degrees in February, and rainfall is a rarity year-round. While summer days can peak well into the 100s, evenings are great for dining under the desert stars. Residents enjoy kayaking, hiking and biking in the spring and winter months, before the heat of summer gets too oppressive. The Phoenix real estate market is slowly rebounding from its post-housing bust lows, but the median home sale price is still a reasonable $131,000.

2. Dallas-Fort Worth
Reasonable housing prices, ample job opportunities and pleasant weather continue to draw new residents to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Enjoy the classic, Texas-style fun, like rodeos, along with fast-paced thrills at the Texas Motor Speedway and Six Flags Over Texas amusement park. Even with all the nightlife, shopping and entertainment that residents enjoy, home prices remain reasonable — the median home sale price is $61,000.

1. Atlanta
For the third year in a row, Atlanta was the country’s most popular place to move last year. A diverse city with many cultural attractions, residents enjoy the perks of big cities like New York and Chicago without the sub-freezing temperatures. Atlanta is home to the world’s largest aquarium, numerous critically acclaimed restaurants and a thriving cultural scene. For a city as in-demand as Atlanta, homes are affordable, with a median home sale price of $200,100.

The national housing market continues to recover, indicated by consistent increases in both home sales and prices.  Homes sales this month rose 7.8% from last month according to the real estate report that Keller Williams put out for October.   Inventories in much of the US are primarily balanced, however large pockets of the country are experiencing inventory shortages.  Some buyers are frustrated with mortgage availability and sales would be 10-15% stronger if the financially qualified buyers could obtain financing per NAR President Moe Veissi.  With the housing market coming close to a full recovery and mortgage rates hitting new record lows, the time to buy now.  The month of October shows mortgage rates around 3.49% which means home buyer affordability remains high for home buyers who buy now while rates are low. 

Several builders are low on inventory, but Peachtree Residential recently completed 20 new homes and has several available in great North Atlanta locations.  Peachtree Residential has been building new homes in Atlanta for over 24 years!  Some of those include great locations in Cumming, East Cobb, Johns Creek, Milton, Peachtree Corners, and Roswell. Visit soon to see these high quality homes that are ready for move-in!  Inventory homes are listed on the website by neighborhood.  Several with incredible incentives for closings this year.  See sales agent for details! 

Be sure to “like” us on Facebook in October.  Each new “like”, Peachtree Residential will donate a $1.00 to Breast Cancer.  Each new home sale in October Peachtree Residential will donate $1,000 toward Breast Cancer. 

Good news, the Atlanta real estate market is expected to make a full recovery.  As the economy as a whole starts to recover, so has the real estate market. The real estate market has started to reach an equilibrium between a seller’s market and a buyer’s market.  The overall inventory supply is meeting demand and the lack of inventory is leading to some trends.  Home prices are starting to rise and last month 17 percent of sellers sold their home at a price above the listing price.  Also the lack of existing inventory is spurring new construction and in July the Atlanta area saw a 26 percent increase in construction activity.  This information is reported from Atlanta’s Best New Homes from Academy Mortgage. 

New construction homes have recently been completed in several Peachtree Residential neighborhoods in great North Atlanta locations.  Also several neighborhoods have new decorated model homes in the month of August.  So be sure to visit the website for more information on our recently completed new homes and decorated model homes at Peachtree Residential. 

Home values rise for first time in 5 years!  CNN Money reported the trending from Coldwell Banker, ReMax and Keller Williams Realty.  Nationwide, home values rose 0.2% year-over-year for the first annual increase since 2007 per real estate listing site Zillow and prices were up 2.1% from the first quarter. “It seems clear that the country has hit a bottom in home values,” said Zillow’s chief economist Stan Humphries. “The housing recovery is holding together despite lower-than-expected job growth, indicating that it has some organic strength of its own.” 

Peachtree Residential has seen an increase in sales as well and is building new homes in highly sought after Atlanta locations.  There are recently completed homes ready to close in numerous neighborhoods.  Visit the Peachtree Residential website to see the available homes.  Peachtree Residential Properties was founded on the commitment to building quality homes with meticulous craftsmanship, custom designs, and the thoughtful touches that add to the homeowners’ quality of life.
