Five of the 10 states with the highest number of inbound movers are west of the Mississippi River. The tech boom has played a big role in enticing new residents to the West Coast, but that's just part of the attraction.
We are seeing people drawn for lifestyle issues: more green space and looking for a lower cost of living," said Melissa Sullivan, director, marketing communications at UniGroup, which operates United Van Lines.
But finding a home in Oregon's biggest city has become more expensive. Home prices in Portland increased almost 11% in October from the same time last year, according to the most recent S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index.
The South was also a popular moving destination last year, with South Carolina ranking second.
"As Baby Boomers get closer to retirement age, we are seeing people move out of colder climates and into places with warmer weather," Sullivan said.
Some states in the Northeast are having a hard time hanging onto their residents. New Jersey saw the highest number of moves out of the state last year, followed by New York.
Here are the top 10 inbound states for 2015, according to United Van Lines:
1. Oregon 
2. South Carolina 
3. Vermont 
4. Idaho 
5. North Carolina 
6. Florida 
7. Nevada 
8. District of Columbia 
9. Texas 
10. Washington
Here are the top 10 outbound states for 2015:
1. New Jersey 
2. New York 
3. Illinois 
4. Connecticut 
5. Ohio 
6. Kansas 
7. Massachusetts 
8. West Virginia

When Will Bank Foreclosurews ‘Normalize’? Team Thayer #realestate #investor #housing #market #news #oregon

With much of the talk surrounding the housing market centered on “normalization” or returning to its pre-crisis state, one metric which the market is watching is the distressed sales share—the share of REO and short sales that comprise total residential home sales.

By comparison, the pre-crisis share of distressed sales was typically around 2 percent; CoreLogic estimates that if the current rate of year-over-year decline continues, the distressed sales share will reach the “normal” pre-crisis level in slightly more than two years. “Prior to the housing crash, the distressed share of total...
