Okay, even though I’m a bit biased towards Rock Hill/Fort Mill SC, it’s still fantastic that Charlotte was just named the #1 place to live by Relocate-America.com.
The Charlotte housing market was cited as being reasons why the city was nominated thanks to a diversity of housing options and home affordability. The strong economy, boosted largely by the presence of Bank of America and Wachovia, was another selling point.
Now don’t get me wrong, Charlotte is a wonderful city and I’m sure glad it’s right next door. I’m just happy to live in Rock Hill/Fort Mill where we can enjoy all of the benefits of the ‘#1 place to live’ and still enjoy all the benefits of the great state of South Carolina!

According to Zillow’s latest Home Value Report, home values in Rock Hill increased 4.3% in the first quarter of 2008, compared to the first quarter of 2007. Nationally, single-family home values decreased 7.5%.
In a nutshell, even though the real estate waters remain quite turbulent and troublesome overall, we’re sitting pretty here in the Carolinas. With the influx of people moving to our area thanks to numerous corporate relocations, this trend doesn’t appear to be reversing itself anytime soon.
To get the full report, check out Zillow’s Home Value Report:
With the financial markets becoming increasingly volatile, more and more homeowners are facing the possibility of foreclosure or worse, bankruptcy.

Here’s a bit of good news that should lift the spirits of anyone down in the duldroms about the tough real estate market we’re currently in.
Freightliner coming to York County
340 jobs moving to York County, newspaper says
CHRISTOPHER D. KIRKPATRICK

Freightliner LLC, the nation’s largest truck manufacturer, plans to move about 340 sales and marketing jobs to York County and develop a 300-acre campus that some have speculated could become the new headquarters, the Oregonian newspaper in Portland reported today.
The Portland, Ore., company has several manufacturing operations in North Carolina and earlier confirmed it was considering transferring some white collar jobs to be closer to those facilities.
A specific site has not been named.
The York County Council discussed a package of transportation-related tax incentives in a closed session today for an unnamed corporation, the Rock Hill Herald reported. It plans a vote in open session on Monday.
The Oregonian reported that elected officials in Portland had been told by Freightliner’s chief executive that the company was developing the campus. The company said it was not moving its headquarters, the paper reported.
So, what this means for us is a potential influx of people looking to buy real estate in the Fort Mill SC, Rock Hill SC, and Tega Cay SC areas. Granted, it’s not going to be a HUGE influx, but will certainly help keep real estate in this area alive and well!
