When we move, we tend to stay in the same general region. In fact, the median distance between the home buyers bought and the home they moved from was 20 miles last year, according to the National Association of Realtors. But while the typical buyer doesn’t stray that far from home, there are others who not only leave their area but also their state. There could be several reasons someone might make an interstate move, including a new job or to be closer to family. Whatever the reason, it’s always interesting to see where Americans who move out of state are headed. That’s the idea behind a recent report tracking migration trends. What it found was Americans are leaving high cost-of-living cities and moving to the Southeast, specifically the Carolinas. The report found five of the top ten cities popular with out-of-state movers were located in North and South Carolina, with Myrtle Beach SC and Wilmington NC sharing the top spot. (source)
