It’s the 4th time Houston has clinched this title. That’s a pretty good record. Houston seems to be the place that the largest number of people want to be, according to a new data by the moving company U-Haul that shows relocation trends of the most popular moving destinations.

U-Haul based its rankings on one-way truck rentals from January 2012 to December 2012. The study revealed the following top 10 destination cities for moves in 2012:

1. Houston
2. Orlando
3. Chicago
4. Las Vegas
5. San Antonio
6. Austin, Texas
7. Brooklyn, N.Y.
8. Philadelphia
9. Kansas City, Mo.
10. Sacramento, Calif.

On the other hand, other lists of most popular moving destinations have differed from U-Haul’s list. In January, Penske Truck Rental put Atlanta at the top of its list for 2012. Houston was ranked No. 6. U-Haul placed Atlanta all the way down at No. 33 on its list.

Either way, we Houstonians should be proud of it but at the same time it brings trouble as well. More people moving, more rental and houses needed. More demand, more supply needed otherwise prices going to go up and it is going up every part of the Houston whether its Katy, Bridgeland, Sugar land. Interest is also lingering low this week. Hurry up and don’t wait longer if you really decided to buy a house this season. Don’t dream that market will come down anymore. Those days are history now.
