Pageviews of houses in small towns are surging amid the coronavirus pandemic, while big cities are staging a more modest comeback.<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n

A <\/span>remote home in the woods<\/span><\/a> in a tiny Illinois village 67 miles southwest of <\/span>Chicago<\/span><\/a> was one of the most-viewed listings on Redfin.com in April. Complete with a wood-burning stove and a natural spring running through the property, the house is reminiscent of the <\/span>Shire<\/span><\/a> in \u201cThe Lord of the Rings.\u201d It may be just one example of an emerging migration trend amid the coronavirus outbreak: the shift toward small towns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Americans are shopping for homes in small towns\u2014those with populations of less than 50,000\u2014at an exceptionally higher rate than they were last year and even last month, far eclipsing the modest recovery occurring in cities as the coronavirus pandemic drags on. And while sales have slowed everywhere, they haven\u2019t suffered quite as much in small-town America\u2014at least not yet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pageviews of homes in small towns surged 105% year over year during the seven-day period ending May 1, an acceleration from the 85% gain that occurred during the week ending April 1. In rural counties with fewer than 10,000 people, views climbed 76%, a sizable increase from the prior year but a deceleration from the 170% rise a month before.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, homes in urban metro areas with at least 1 million people saw a 16% rise in pageviews during the week ending May 1. That marks a reversal from the 13% <\/span>decline<\/span><\/i> we saw a month prior, but still represents a much slower increase than small towns and rural areas are experiencing.<\/span><\/p>\n

“During the first month of the pandemic, interest in rural areas skyrocketed while interest in cities fell, with many urbanites dreaming of packing up and heading for the hills,” said Redfin lead economist Taylor Marr<\/a>. “Some of that boost in rural areas proved to be temporary, but it appears to be more sustainable in small towns, which may be a more realistic option for those looking to work from home primarily or commute into the office once or twice a week.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The draw to small towns and rural areas is not only evident in home-browsing habits; it’s showing up in actual sales<\/span>. While pending homes sales are down across the board, less-populous areas aren\u2019t being hit quite as hard as large cities are.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pending sales plummeted 39% in urban metro areas during the week ending May 1, compared with a drop of around just 25% in both small towns and rural areas. That gap is wider than the one we saw during the week ending April 1, when urban metro areas had experienced a 28% decline in pending sales, compared with a decrease of 20% in rural areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

While cities and remote areas are dealing with different levels of fallout fueled by the coronavirus, sales overall have shown signs of recovery. There were 40,952 homes under contract to be sold nationwide during the week ending May 1, a 35% decrease from the same period the prior year. That\u2019s an improvement from the 41.7% drop that occurred when pending sales bottomed in mid-April.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
