North Carolina is referred to as a Goldilocks state because it just seems to have everything in mixed proportions. Its climate is not too hot or cold, has small towns and cities, and diverse people and ideologies. The cost of living in North Carolina is also about 4% lower than average for a US city, with it being neither too expensive nor too cheap to live there.

Methodology: GOBankingRates took the overall U.S. median home value and projected its growth and decline over 10 years using Zillow’s May 2024-25 one-year forecast. This projection was then compared to the projections of the 373 ZIP codes in North Carolina that currently have home prices below the national median, with those rising above the national average in the next 10 years (plus its projected growth rate over the same period) being deemed “a place you could no longer afford.” For each North Carolina ZIP code over the next decade, GOBankingRates found the following factors: (1) year the North Carolina ZIP code will become a “place you could no longer afford”; (2) projected home value for that year; and (3) US average projected home value for that year. NOTE: GOBankingRates does not expect growth in home value to stay stagnant at one current rate for the next decade, but using these constant figures gives us an idea where certain markets are heading without unforeseen market disruptors in the future. All data used to conduct this study was compiled and verified on June 19, 2024.
