About the Region

Southeast

The Southeast has become the most active real estate market in the United States. Charlotte, Raleigh, Atlanta, and Nashville's broader metro have all absorbed sustained in-migration driven by warmer weather, relatively lower housing costs than comparable Sun Belt metros, and — in Florida and Tennessee — no state income tax. The Research Triangle between Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill has emerged as a genuine rival to established tech corridors, anchored by Duke, UNC, and NC State.

The region's rapid growth has created real affordability pressure in cities that were bargains a decade ago. Asheville, Savannah, and coastal Florida markets have seen sharp appreciation, narrowing the cost advantage that drew transplants in the first place. Coastal areas across the Southeast also carry increasing flood and hurricane insurance costs as storm frequency and severity trends upward. Long, hot, and humid summers are a material lifestyle consideration — June through September in much of the region is genuinely intense.
