LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Hundreds of thousands of people have moved to Nevada since the pandemic, and a class helps Northern California residents make informed decisions before the leap to relocate to the Silver State.

The class is titled “Exit Strategies for Leaving the Bay Area,” offered by Campbell Adult & Community Education in San Jose. Realtor Punam Navalgund created the class in 2019 and tells FOX5 that the concept was born out of necessity by a demand from clients.

“It was me hearing a need from home sellers to make more informed decisions about making their move,” Navalgund said. “There are people from all walks of life, people looking to retire, people who want to raise a family somewhere else where the cost of living isn’t as high as it is here in the Bay Area. It’s people who have a lot of equity in their homes, who aren’t really sure how much they’re going to have left at the end of the transaction,” she said.

Navalgund said students have moved to states such as Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, Texas, Florida and Georgia, but Nevada remains a popular relocation destination.

“We help people build a support team here locally, as well as in their destination. So whether that’s looking for lawyers, looking for real estate agents, looking for tax professionals, financial planners, I really want people to feel secure about making that decision,” she said.

According to data from the Lee School of Business at UNLV, 355,088 people moved from California from 2020 to 2023 and 148,939 people were from California. Data came from licenses surrendered to the Nevada DMV.

“The court declines to find as a matter of law that a reasonable investor would have derived any expectation of profit from general cryptocurrency market trends, as opposed to Ripple’s efforts to facilitate XRP’s use in cross-border payments, among other things,” Hamilton wrote. “Accordingly, the [court] cannot find as a matter of law that Ripple’s conduct would not have led a reasonable investor to have an expectation of profit due to the efforts of others.”

Thursday marks the first day of summer in Southern California and it won’t take long for a heat wave to follow.

“We’re talking about a real big warmup for the upcoming weekend,” KTLA Meteorologist Henry DiCarlo said during the final hours of spring.

As the season changes, so will the mild weather the Southland has been enjoying.

Residents will begin to notice warmer weather on Friday but the big jump in temperatures arrives over the weekend and will continue into next week, according to the National Weather Service.

A heat advisory has been issued between 10 a.m. Saturday and 8 p.m. Sunday for the Inland Empire and parts of Orange County.

Temperatures in some Inland Empire locations could reach 104 degrees on Saturday and 101 degrees on Sunday.

Although the advisories are currently set to expire on Sunday, triple-digit conditions are expected to continue in some desert locations through at least Wednesday of next week.

“Hot temperatures may cause heat illnesses,” the Weather Service warned. “Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.”

The heat wave is not the only thing residents should be aware of.

“Now we’re going to increase the chance of thunderstorms [Sunday] over our local mountains and desert areas. Some of those could creep into some of the valleys, like the Inland Empire,” Henry said.
