hi everyone this is chris morton real estate broker with exp realty in raleigh north carolina
and on today's video we're going to talk about a new survey done by bankrate.com that shows
where raleigh falls on the list of best places to move to in the united states and without further
suspense tada raleigh ranks number one and why is that why is raleigh getting this accolade
now like we continue to get over and over again well on today's video we're going to give you
all the details starting with the number one thing raleigh's strong employment opportunities
raleigh by being such a dynamic economy attracts top flight companies apple for example
just announced last year they were headed this way and because we're getting such top flight
companies coming this way highly skilled employees are attracted to the area to fill those jobs
and so then a ripple effect happens highly skilled employees go out to nice restaurants
nice shops coffee shops all of that sort of thing which requires these shops to spring up
hire employees who can be servers and sales clerks and baristas and all of that and just continues
the cycle of a bigger and bigger economy and this relates to the number two factor that causes
raleigh to be on this list at the very top of the list that is the diverse economy with all of these
highly skilled workers coming in it's a great boom to our tech industry but technology isn't the only
thing we have going on in the raleigh triangle area we are known well known i should say for
our medical centers for our teaching institutions and our universities and all of that together
along with finance and banking and manufacturing results in an extremely diverse economy that
has been known in the past and should definitely be expected in the future to weather any economic
storms that happen that continues to attract the attention of publications like bankrate.com and
of course continues to attract folks from all over the country and the world to come this way
raleigh's relatively low cost of living also is another factor that causes bankrate.com to put
raleigh at number one on their list and yes i know it is costing more and more these days to
live in this area but compared to other areas such as san francisco los angeles new york and even
austin texas one of our direct competitors raleigh and the surrounding triangle area really has a
fairly affordable cost of living it is still possible to come here get a decent paying
job that's going to allow you to survive while you're taking classes to improve yourself like
technology computer science classes go then take that new information knowledge and degree you got
go get yourself a really high paying job and really be very very successful there are very
few places around where you can do this raleigh in the triangle area is definitely one of them the
overall quality of life you can experience here in the raleigh area is yet another reason why it
makes the number one slot on the bankrate.com list we've mentioned it on previous videos but
it definitely bears repeating the mild climate we have here the great food scene the many things you
have to do and the unique location both in the state of north carolina where you can be on the
coast in a couple hours in the mountains in about three hours drive up north to virginia new york
city massachusetts et cetera et cetera up north or down south to south carolina georgia or florida
makes raleigh a really unique area really great location for doing a lot of different things and
that overall quality of life is what really puts raleigh at the top of these lists so what does all
this notoriety mean for raleigh in the future well you don't have to be a genius to know that raleigh
is going to continue to be a place that a lot of people move to and be very interested in moving to
we get literally on a daily basis my team and i get calls from people all over the country all
over the world wanting to know more about moving to the area and asking our help to help them buy
a house in this area and it's a great great thing that we get to brag about how awesome the area is
and how it would be a great fit for them so the result of all this demand is going to be
more and more people coming to the area as we say which will increase the population it will
increase the food scene and everything going on with that things to do in the area and
overall increase an already amazing quality of life economically it means that raleigh
and the triangle will be able to weather any economic storms that may happen in the future
and do a lot better than many other places in the country that don't have all the advantages
raleigh has and because raleigh and the triangle are not blocked in by an ocean or the mountains
we have the ability to continue growing and growing as the needs arise from more people
coming here so expect to see raleigh get bigger and bigger and remain at the top of these lists so
