CHARLOTTE, N.C. — WCNC Charlotte has covered several stories about the impact of people moving to the greater Charlotte area, but a recent report from storage.com is talking about the folks ready to leave.
The new data reveals which states have more people searching for a new home in 2024. North Carolina came in 10th on the list, meaning it's among the top states ranked that people are considering moving to, or moving within the state.
WCNC Charlotte is always asking "where's the money?" If you need help, reach out to WCNC Charlotte by emailing money@wcnc.com.
To come up with the numbers, storage.com conducted a study analyzing Google searches, including searches for certain property and rental sites.
This was in an effort to show which areas people were looking to learn about relocating to.
What's not clear is why certain locations fared better than others. The report couldn't nail down why people want to relocate, but offered that tenants may be packing up because they need cheaper housing. Another factor could be people wanting to move from renting to owning.
