Relocate With Jen: Is Raleigh Recession Proof? 3 Years in a row Raleigh is NATIONALLY the #1 Place for Business and Career and Durham ranks #3

Is Raleigh Recession Proof? 3 Years in a row Raleigh is NATIONALLY the #1 Place for Business and Career and Durham ranks #3

Another great news story for the Raleigh area!  I have been saying that the news is acting like Chicken Little around here creating a fear that is not needed.  For the 3rd straight year Raleigh was rank the Best Place for Business and Careers and Durham ranked 3rd!  http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=60810153950&h=NJdY2&u=iVATL&ref=nf

While this is great news it comes out on the heels of record unemployment rates in the state.

We are very blessed in the Raleigh/Durham area to be in our own bubble.  Prices are holding relatively stable and we are picking up in number of sales.  All the mortgage lenders that I talk with are busy.  We have even ventured out to open a brand new 3000 sq ft office and had a wonderful grand opening that was featured on the local TV news station and in the newspaper.  Check it out!

Recession proof?

They were saying the same thing about Greenville, SC a couple of years ago too.

Glad things are humming right now for you!
