MIAMI-TO-NORTH-CAROLINA

Moving to North Carolina from Miami can seem counterintuitive. After all, more people typically move from North Carolina to Miami. But despite this, North Carolina moving offers a range of advantages.

North Carolina is a stable state from an economic point of view. South Florida or the whole of Florida might be suitable for retirees or those who are looking for a quiet place. But if you’re after a good job or plenty of job opportunities, North Carolina makes more sense than the Sunshine State. Whether you’re moving from South Florida or other parts of FL, here at Nobel Relocation, we provide comprehensive packing services, relocation services, and a stress free experience. Everything begins with a free quote.

What to consider before moving to North Carolina from Miami

Our North Carolina Florida moving services seem to be more popular among young professionals or families looking forward to building a future, rather than retiring.

Nobel Relocation is one of the top rated Florida movers. We can handle a long distance upcoming move anywhere in the country, but we also provide international services.

Moving from Miami to North Carolina often makes more sense when you grow old, but other than that, young professionals and families swing towards North Carolina.

Our North Carolina professional movers cooperate with other local moving companies, depending on where you want to go. We only partner up with reputable firms, such as Sons Relocation Services.

Weather in North Carolina

If you’re mostly used to keeping the air conditioning on 24/7 or hanging around a hot beach in Florida, North Carolina is different and has four seasons. You’ll never get bored. Summers are a bit hot, but not as hot as in Florida, while winters are cold.

Temperatures rarely exceed 87 degrees F in the summer and don’t normally go under 32 degrees in the wintertime. You’re likely to get some snow for the winter holidays as well.

Getting ready for the housing market in North Carolina

Living in North Carolina requires a well planned move, whether you move north or south, interested in major cities or small towns. Most people rely on our moving company for everything, including furniture or fine art. However, you need to find an address move before you even start packing.

Compared to other states in America, North Carolina recovered quickly after the pandemic. At the end of 2022, the housing market was nearly 5% up from the previous year. Houses stay on the market for less than two months, and the average price revolves around $344,000. Prices fluctuate, though.

Over 11,000 homes were sold in North Carolina only in December, 2022. In other words, the market flows freely, and long distance moving from Florida to North Carolina has never seen a better time.

When in search for a new address, we recommend local real estate companies for more resources.

The average monthly mortgage cost can go up to about $1,300 a month while renting a two bedroom apartment should not go over $900 a month.

Whether you buy or rent, keep your offer short of what’s required, as there’s always room for negotiation in the industry.

Cost of living in North Carolina

In 2022, the average cost of living in NC was $38,295 per year. It’s somewhere in the middle of USA. For a family, moving to North Carolina is a more cost effective option than living in Florida.

On average, housing and utilities will cost just over $7,000 a year, while food will go up to $3,500 a year. Gas and energy goods are less likely to exceed $1,000 a year. Obviously, these numbers vary from one place to another. Charlotte, for example, is more expensive than a small city. It’s like everywhere else, the main big city will have a higher cost of living than small cities and towns.

There are 10 commercial airports in NC, rail lines operated by Amtrak, and dozens of bus routes for mass transit in each city. The state has the largest highway network in the USA, maintained by the state, 77,400 miles. Bring your own car or use public transportation.

Employment and jobs

Our company team recommends assessing the local job market before deciding on a particular place for your move date.

North Carolina has an unemployment rate of 3.9%, which is slightly higher than the national average of 3.5%. In December, 2022, there were just over 200,000 unemployed people in the state.

Just like anywhere in the world, big cities like Charlotte or Raleigh offer more opportunities than a small town.

Taxing system in North Carolina

The individual income tax rate is set at 4.75% for 2023, lower than the 4.99% rate in 2022 or the 5.25% rate from 2019 to 2021.

The combined local and state sales tax rate is 6.98%, while the corporate income tax rate is 2.5%.

Taxes are similar in North Carolina and Florida, but North Carolina puts a higher burden on its citizens. It won’t be a significant difference, though.
