Thanks for your help I have not moved to NC I love it.

[@ganymeade5151]

Helpful video. Thank you.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Welcome!

[@KailuaChick]

Where is that beautiful location behind you around the 8:00 mark?

[@giiiddyup]

Great information and perspective. Can be used for any big move!

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Thank you!

[@mcfrisko834]

8:20 This applies just about anywhere. I will always rep my home state but I will always show love to NC.

[@BologneseJones]

His video is accurate..I'm friends with alot of northern transplants..the ones who love it here are the ones sick of big city life and love nature and a slow pace life ..the ones that don't must have been lied to by the realtor..if you like fast past city living move to LA, Chicago , Atlanta or move to Connecticut.rhode island ..the southern culture is nothing like up north

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Thanks for sharing!

[@hdetroyerAssassindestroyer]

People do drive fast in NC and I'm from up North I was shocked when I first moved here. Good advice 👍

[@Detectagency]

They are absolutely crazy! It's like they have taken a hit of acid!

[@gregoryjacob624]

Truth. I signed my contract to build with a large builder in April 2021 with an anticipated completion of Jan 2022…they haven’t even broke ground yet and it will be at least one year late. The contract is so one-sided, there is no recourse.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

That's unacceptable. So sorry to hear that. Who was the builder?

[@ganymeade5151]

The Northeast hyper mentality of expecting everything the day before yesterday does not apply in the South. LOL.

[@22Nimily]

Do you have any videos on Hillsborough and/or Durham?

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Not yet, but we will soon

[@michaelkline6415]

Great tips, thank you.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Thanks

[@michaelkline6415]

@@LivinginRaleighTV your welcome. I would just like to say that no matter where you live, your going to have places that aren't all that great. Olive in PA and know all about certain people's driving and demeanor. You just learn to deal with it and hope for the best. I'll be moving myself within the next two years around the Williamton area. Love the ocean .

[@student6045]

I have not moved to North Carolina yet (September 2023) I have visited quite abit and totally agree with your videos. Thank you for your insight into the Great State of NC. Is that polite enough? Look forward to the NC sunsets on the water. Ya Baby.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Look forward to having you here!

[@cashed-out2192]

People believe the state has a robust economy throughout the entire state, no matter where you live

[@kingdream6608]

When shopping for a house online how do you know if it has a basement

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

It will say in the listing, but basements are not common in NC. They’re more likely to be on a sloped lot.

[@jonafridi]

I have a video idea. I know you did a video for South Carolina vs North Carolina.. but what about North Carolina vs Virginia? It would be interesting as they are close enough to be similar.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Yes great idea!

[@danielponder690]

North Carolina is a knock off of Virginia. Virginia is #1 (ok Richmond and north 😛)

[@lelandrasor9678]

Appreciate the tip on appliances. We are planning a move over there soon, stored our fridge, washer, and dryer for awhile now. We were very close to just selling them before the move.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Happy we could help!

[@kingkeyes12]

Stay were your at we don’t need anymore people jacking up the price

[@Freightorious]

Always drive your own truck

[@DanV-g7i]

Another outstanding video, Chris! One question. I have bought and sold two homes in my lifetime, one in Nevada and the other in Washington State. We did not need and did not use a lawyer. Is one required in NC?

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Just for the closing. Thank you!

[@jonafridi]

what's your opinion about the market for Raleigh, Apex, Cary.. are house prices stabilizing or are they just going higher?

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Things are a little more stable now, but it's still pretty wild. Cary, Raleigh, and Apex are some of the most competitive areas.

[@andresberejnoi]

Your videos are very helpful for understanding this market. Maybe you already have covered this topic, but I would appreciate a video about investment properties, especially for cash flow. It seems that it is very difficult to find that right now.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Thank you, we would like to talk more about investment properties in the future.

[@raymondtalavera8505]

Honestly I really wanted to move to RALEIGH NC just like many others do to the lower cost of living but what peaple never talk about is how NC jobs pay way less then states like Cali or NYC and on top of that home and rental prices are going up in RALEIGH and has become very expensive almost NYC prices peaple think by moving to the south they gonna live in luxury and the more peaple move here the more expensive it will become I probably just gonna keep my butt in NYC

[@CyberTranceHero69]

That is why you buy don't rent. Washington DC and North Virginia pay is equivalent to NYC. Montgomery County Maryland and Prince George County are very good places to live and have the subway system that connects to DC. It's like living in Brooklyn.

[@novadhd]

We actually had great long distance mover experience and bad local move here in NC. Is green your favorite color Chris?

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

No, it's a branding thing!

[@brandeno919]

1-10 moving to Fayetteville

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Awesome

[@luperodriguez2869]

Your talking a good one and can you do a video on haunted house like what's the best ones to go to in raleigh that's never been done before

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Interesting topic! We will consider

[@moisesleon5200]

Just the ways this guy speaks makes me not want to move to NC

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Your lack of manners wouldn’t fit in here anyway, so it’s probably best you don’t.

[@BologneseJones]

It is the south ..so don't ..move to Vermont

[@davidw7776]

Don't move to NC with your liberal politics
