U-Haul is an all-American company that specializes in DIY moving. U-Haul is the mover of choice of many people who want to move their stuff themselves. Every year, the company releases a list of what they call a “national migration trend report.” The report is a result of the analysis of more than 1 million U-haul transactions every year. For the second year in a row, Atlanta, Georgia takes the top spot for 2008 migrations. Coming in at second place is Houston, Texas.
Below are the top twenty-five destinations of U-Haul customers for 2008:
1. ATLANTA, Ga.
2. HOUSTON, Texas
3. LOS ANGELES, Calif.
4. LAS VEGAS, Nev.
5. DENVER, Colo.

This is an interesting list. Granted, U-Haul is a pretty reliable company with a good track record. But you are probably thinking, “Where is Wichita? Aren’t Wichita homes worth migrating for?” Well you have to realize that this list is made by only U-Haul. It is not a comprehensive list of the overall pattern of migrations in the whole country. For sure, Wichita is still a wonderful place to call home. In these difficult times, you can never go wrong with buying a home in Wichita, Kansas.
If you want to check Wichita homes now, you may contact yours truly.
