If you moved you probably did not move to far

A US census press release reported that of the people who moved during 2006 and 2007 , the majority of those moved to a location within the same county.

38.7 million people moved in the United States and 25.2 million stayed in the same county.

If you are planning a move anywhere in Orange, Volusia, Seminole, Orange, Lake or surrounding counties give me a call and I will find you the right property in your county.
