There are signs that the migration is going the other way. Huge property taxes increases, huge insurance rates increases, and the fear of hurricanes/GW are taking a toll. ------------------ Is this an anecdotal observation, or have you seen actual figures that show in-migration has slowed? Actual & anecdotal... a couple of months ago the moving van companies reported more people moved out of the state than into the state. (If I remember right that's the first time that's happened). We are fed many ads, especially from Tennessee selling the low cost/nice lifestyle of living there (they always mention no hurricanes). We are now well over 4% unoccupied, with high carrying costs (insurance/taxes). So I expect prices to get worse.
