Premiere Raleigh Moving Company – 919-875-1700

In Raleigh, home prices have continually dropped, along with the majority of the rest of the United States. While prices are estimated to stabilize in the middle of next year, the road leading there will tell a lot about the progress that the real estate market has made locally.

The economy in Raleigh is strengthening a little bit each day, at least that’s what we see here at the Raleigh movers. Combined with the low home prices and the stability of the area, there should definitely be improvements in the local economy if these trends continue.

The question for many is whether or not now is the time to buy. With mortgages down and rents up, it seems so. If you have the means, then you should certainly explore your options. It could mean paying less monthly on a mortgage than you currently are on a rental! Plus, you would being paying monthly towards something–owning. It’s certainly worth looking in to.

A veteran’s group in the Research Triangle Area called Operation: Coming Home has honored a U.S. Marine Corps veteran with a new home this holiday season. The Operation: Coming Home group, which is comprised of the Triangle Veteran’s Group, Home Builders Association of Raleigh-Wake County, and several other organizations, will hold a ceremony presenting the home to Sgt. Carlos Evans on Friday, December 2nd.

The organization chose Evans as the recipient of the home based on his dedication and sacrifice he has made over his four tours of duty. On his last tour, he lost both legs and his left hand. The home was custom made to accommodate for Evans and provide accessibility.

The Raleigh movers want to give a big thanks to our troops this holiday season, and every other time of the year. We truly appreciate everything you do for us at home and abroad.

Your Raleigh professional moving experts are looking forward to upcoming holiday weekend as we’re sure you are as well; however, not all Raleigh families are as fortunate as ours. Thanksgiving is a day that all people should be able to enjoy, which is why your Raleigh professional movers have been donating Thanksgiving turkeys to local shelters during the holidays for over fifteen years. Your relocation team recently donated over one-hundred-and-fifty turkeys to Raleigh area shelters such as; Raleigh Rescue, Helping Hand, Healing Place, and Interact. Your movers are thankful to be able to spend the holidays with family and loved ones, and we are also thankful to be able to give back to the community during the holidays. Happy Thanksgiving Raleigh!

The AT&T Raleigh Winterfest is poised to return this holiday season, according to the City of Raleigh. Complete with a festival slated to take place on December 3rd, the event will kickoff with a party on the 3rd with live music, dancing, and an 80s theme. Following the opening reception, an outdoor ice skating rink will open & stay open for two months.

The Raleigh movers love the magic that Winterfest brings, and love how it transforms our city with happy holiday spirits. In addition to the ice skating rink, various activities celebrating the holiday season will take place throughout the season. For a detailed agenda of daily hours, events and directions, visit the official Winterfest website.

The Bi-Annual Job Fair hosted by the Raleigh United Methodist Church brought applicants out in droves last week. The event is now in its third year, about 2,000 people came out seeking employment.

According to the church’s Pastor, they were expecting about 1000 people at the event. It ending up drawing a crowd of almost double. About 20 companies were present offering hundreds of jobs–the Raleigh movers hope that these positions are filled with local Raleigh candidates to boost the local economy.

A developed in Raleigh’s famed Research Triangle area has decided to put plans back on the table for a urban development project that was in the works. The project, a $30.6 million six story mixed space, was intended to house both private residences and shops. The venture was set to be located downtown, encompassing most of the block in between Blount, Davie, Wilmington and Martin streets.

As of late, the project is being revisited and downsized. Since the economy has not revived the way that investors would like, the project is undergoing a makeover. The 39 floor tower has been scratched, and so has a 24 floor office tower.

As the project gets reworked, the Raleigh movers will keep you posted on developments. In the mean time, you can read in depth on the issue by visiting the News Observer.

The solar power industry is flourishing in North Carolina, where companies such as O2 Energies are opening solar plants in rural areas such as Mt. Airy and Newland. These two plants alone generate over 3 million kw hours of electricity annually. O2 Energies is one of almost a dozen companies setting up solar powered shop in North Carolina.

Raleigh and surrounding areas are focused on solar energy and renewable resources. Raleigh based Strata Solar has seen costs become much more consumer friendly, with solar panels now reduced by about 75% of their price in the last few years alone.

With educational facilities and scientific discovery groups, the Raleigh and Research Triangle area are a likely region to adopt solar energy with open arms. Now, with political bills in line to help increase solar energy in North Carolina, the state seems sold on the energy conserving method.

The Raleigh movers proudly report that if solar energy continues to gain momentum, there will be several job opportunities and developing businesses in the Raleigh area, and the rest of the state, over the next few years.

Storage is one of our fortes, as professional movers in Raleigh who offer storage we have to be specialized in providing quick and convenient storage solutions for all who need to free the space up at home. However, storage needs don’t all necessarily require renting a unit from your local self-store or full-service facilities. Sometimes storage is as simple as packing seasonal clothing away in a hall closet. Storage needs being met with no need to even leave the home sure seems convenient, but there are a few tips your local movers here have that will make in-home storage ventures even more ideal!

Arguably the most important aspect of any storage project is organization. So that you can stay well-organized while moving stuff in or out of storage, your Raleigh mover suggests keeping your storage space very well-lit while working within it. Simply put, when you can see everything that you are putting in or taking out of storage, the chance of misplacing one or more of your items to be stored is much less likely. Speaking of being able to see everything, the use of clear plastic tubs is ideal as you can see items inside of a container without having to pull them down to look inside like boxes often require. Every once in a while, you may need to retrieve items from storage, which can be a rather tedious task if all stored boxes are stacked on top of one another. The use of shelving makes it easy to remove boxes out of a storage closet, while still being able to take advantage of floor-to-ceiling space inside your storage closet. Make the best of your storage ventures within the home and you’ll never dread the coming of new seasons! Of course, you can always call on your Raleigh professional storage providers here any day of the week. We’ll even pack and move your storage items for you!

Downtown has long held the appeal of many Raleigh residents as an ideal place to live. Unfortunately, high rents and cost of living has made that simply a dream for most. Carlton Place, which was built with government and private grants, offers something different to downtown, and allows a cheaper living option for families who don’t have as much money to spend on rent each month. However, there are only 80 apartments in the building, and most are filled.

In a few weeks, Raleigh voters will decide whether or not the city uses funding to build similar communities. A $16 million bond on the October 11th ballot is up for debate, which, if approved, would provide loans and assistance to first time home buyers. The bill is said to target the low income and senior populations.

If you’re thinking of moving to downtown, don’t forget to contact your favorite Raleigh movers for the best rates, reliable movers, and a seamless moving day.

Business Week’s ranking of U.S cities for the top areas of school performance, green space, and cultural diversity & amenities has ranked Raleigh, N.C. as number one! The Raleigh movers absolutely agree. And like many other Raleigh residents, we are proud that a national publication has tipped off their hats to us as a great place to live, work and play.

With an array of entertainment options–movies, sports, concerts and opera, Raleigh is a great city to grow up in, be a young professional in, and also raise a family in. With a reasonable population of 400,000, it’s a city that is neither too big nor too small. The charm in Raleigh is that it focuses on being better, not bigger.
