A record number of potential U.S. homebuyers are seeking to relocate, according to a report published last week by real estate brokerage firm Redfin. The report ranked the cities Redfin users appeared most likely to try to leave — San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York topped the list.

“The typical home in San Francisco or San Jose now costs more than $1.5 million,” Taylor Marr, Redfin’s deputy chief economist, said in the report. “Add in today’s 5%-plus mortgage rates and you have a sky-high monthly payment.”

Marr noted that a lack of affordability is a tougher sell for cities than ever before, with the rise of remote work across large swaths of the country. Roughly 33% of Redfin users searched for homes in new cities in the second quarter of 2022, up from 26% in 2019 before the Covid-19 pandemic hit.

Here are the top seven cities prospective homebuyers are seeking to leave, according to Redfin’s report:

San Francisco
Los Angeles
New York
Washington D.C.
Seattle
Boston
Detroit

Denver, Chicago and Minneapolis round out the list’s top 10. Collectively, they represent some of the country’s most populous cities: Minneapolis is the only one on the list with fewer than 650,000 people, according to U.S. Census data.

To compile its list, Redfin analyzed searches across more than 100 metro areas from about 2 million of its users. It compiled metrics like “net inflow” and “net outflow,” which refer to the number of people who sought to enter a given city compared with the number of people who wanted to leave it.

The cities with the most net outflow are the ones people most want to leave, according to the report. Correspondingly, these cities with the most net inflow may see an influx of homeowners in the coming months:

Miami
Tampa, Florida
Phoenix
Sacramento, California
Las Vegas
Cape Coral, Florida
San Diego
North Port, Florida
San Antonio
Dallas

Florida, California and Texas each have multiple cities on that list — perhaps indicating an American craving for warm weather, particularly mid-summer. Florida is a particularly popular destination, occupying four of the top 10 slots.

Plenty of people search sites like Redfin with no intention of buying a house. The company says its analysis excluded such searches. Marr noted that Redfin’s data typically aligns with U.S. Census migration patterns, an indication of its usual accuracy.

“We believe our data is a strong leading indicator of actual moving decisions,” he said.

Huh, all 10 are run by liberals. Imagine that.

Huh, all 10 are run by liberals. Imagine that.

And the liberals that voted for them are moving here to FL in droves :mad:

they ****ed up their cities and states.... they should be forced to stay there and deal with it instead of jumping ship, voting the same way, and ****ing up good places like where we are.

[StaticCling]

Paid 480k for my house in 2008, houses in my neighborhood are selling for 1 Million Plus. It's ****ing stupid to be honest, these houses aren't worth that.

Don't blame people for wanting to leave this place. (Los Angeles)

How big of a house and what amenities will $1M get you out there these days?

Cape Coral FTW. My Grandparents lived on the next island over, so moving here felt pretty much like coming home.
Still snowbirding for the most part but for the last 10 years I've been visiting, it's nice to have a place to call my own.

Deej, there are a LOT of conservative/common sense folks sick of the BS moving down here as well. :cert:

1945 Square Feet, 3 Bedrooms, 2.75 Bath (One Bathroom is Shower Only)

It's a Ranch House in a reasonably safe area in the San Fernando Valley

I think if you relocate, you should not be able to vote for one election cycle. Same for new citizens. You sit out one election for each office.

Cannot believe that anyone wants to relocate to FL given its crime, politics, economy, lack of recreational options, high taxes, weather, housing prices, etc... ?!?!?

We're full. Stay where you are. :yesnod:

Yup, it's a shitty place to live or even visit. We need to turn everyone around at the border, especially liberals wanting to move here. :seasix:

I agree, should have included such in my post:cert:!!

My take on FL, you hate it because you cannot get here!!

We have 2500 sqft, custom designed and built, plus 11 acres of land for 1/2 that:dance:


But unfortunately Texas is full, unless you can prove you will vote conservative.

:skia:

I have never understood transplanted libturds AND illegals from other lands, both leave due to the shitholes they live in offer nothing and lifestyle continues to decline, BUT then they hold fast to their inane politics even though they will admit their past pol support got them less than nothing, and turned their city, state or country into a cesspool.

PRicans leave the island as it is a MAJOR SHITHOLE, 1 pub gov for only four years in the past 50 years, they never return to PR, yet they hold fast to socialism even though it gutted their island and separated their families.

Nice try, but I already own a house in Texas. :kimblair:

Like Austin?

[TripleBlack]

Huh, all 10 are run by liberals. Imagine that.


So are the two destination cities in Texas, Dallas, and San Antonio. Neither are as bad as Austin or San Francisco but IMO they aspire to be.

[VITE1]

Huh, all 10 are run by liberals. Imagine that.

Miami has a Republican mayor. North Port is a Republican area.

They're not in the top 10 cities people are leaving. :shrug:

:seasix:


They only list the top 7 cities they are leaving, which are all run by progressive liberal idiots, the top ten are where they are going.

[ratflinger]

Like Austin?




No, Austin has stupid high prices, mainly because dumbassess from Cali buy overpriced property in enclaves full of other dumbass libs.




And yes, the city leadership of San Antonio & Dallas are eat up with the dumbass. I live in the country, outside of San Antonio.

Depends on where you are in Floriduh......near Jax Fl/NE corner of the state, is a county just south of the city/county it's in......and so it's rather desirable location taxes, utilities, etc....

:dance:

I was being sarcastic, and no, do not listen to him or any others that spew crap.
