The first family has bought a house in Asheville, North Carolina, according to a financial media company that claims it has an iron-clad confirmation of the future move.
And given Barack Obama's frequent trips there before and during his presidency, the rumor mill is spinning.
He visited Asheville last year, speaking at an auto parts plant owned by Linamar Corp. to advocate for a minimum wage hike the day after his State of the Union address.
Obama has visited the trendy city of just 85,000 people three other times since his first presidential campaign. It was his debate-preparation retreat before going toe-to-toe with Arizona Sen. John McCain in 2008. He took his family there for an April 2010 vacation. And he made a pitch there for jobs in 2011.
