The census bureau completed the 2010 tabulations some time ago. The U.S Census data will be released this upcoming winter. If the early numbers are correct, Wake County will become the most populous in the region.

Wake County growth is expected to surge over the coming years, due to the large relocation of northeners as they continue to retire their snow shovels.

With population growth so goes the quality of life. Over the past ten-years Cary, Apex have seen large growth with publications naming the locales as “Top Ten Places ” to live in America. Setbacks aside due to economic conditions. These and many others are rebounding and beginning to see signs of new growth.

The Triangle continues to attract global interest and with it and signs point to continued expansion and more jobs.

My friend in Florida told me they have to write a big check this past weekend to get out of their house. “Were trying not to see it as a big loss, though were heading to a place where we’ll gain when we buy”

They’re leaving and moving far away.

They close on their new house in a few weeks he told me. When real estate prices were soaring, we were living high, and barely working. They borrowed and invested in real estate, as prices were moving higher so was their net worth. And then……it ended.

The days of living a life of luxury are gone as is their net worth. Both he and his wife are back to work in a new place with a new start. By deciding to turn off the pause button they have moved on and restarted their lives.

Taking a loss on your home isn’t easy. Moving away isn’t easy, the single truth is we likely won’t see real estate prices and high levels of spending for many years.

Instead of sitting around and waiting for everything to be like it was . You have a choice stay and hope or you can leave and try and make a better life.
My friend has left, and I know they’ll make it he’s already succeeding

Times are a changing. So says the 2010 Del Webb Baby Boomer Survey. Researchers found the Carolina’s are “the new Florida” among the young and older boomers. While South Carolina favored most North Carolina was a close second. Boomers are leaning away from Golf Communities and are screaming “feed my mind” Closeness to cultural activities, walking trails, public transportation, medical facilities and churches among the list.

Wake Forest recently was honored as being one of the Top 10 fastest growing communities in the United States. Only a short 20 minute commute to Raleigh, Wake Forest fills the gap for those looking for city living in a rural setting.
