Not sure what part of NC you are from. We are just outside Raleigh and they can t build fast enough for all the people moving here. Our house sold in 2 days 20k OVER our asking price with 6 offers. Even with high interest rates. Traffic is awful every where. They keep building but not improving the roads to handle it. Taxes keep getting raised..yes they are lower then Florida but there are more things for a happy life then paying lower taxes. Medical care has gone downhill as all the drs are getting bought out by the large hospital systems causing higher prices which is causing insurance companies battles. We have uhc and UNC which is about everyone refused to accept uhc insurance for a few months because they were disagreeing on prices. So be careful what you wish for. ...you may want to do research before moving back. When we decided it was time to move we looked all over the country and the villages beleive it or not just ticked a lot of our wants on our list.
