Best In South Carolina Real Estate™: Columbia

🏆 #1 in Midlands, #1 in SC — ALEX Intelligence 2026 Net Migration in Households List. Columbia’s 680 net household gain from 2022–23 is the highest in the state and metro, according to ALEX Intelligence’s latest analysis of IRS migration data. This isn’t just growth — it’s structural repositioning. The Midlands is no longer just a regional hub; it’s becoming a primary destination for new residents across the U.S. The data shows that migration is driving demand, not just supply — and that the most valuable assets are those with stability, access, and adaptability. How does this shift affect your strategy?
