With a record share of Redfin.com home searchers looking to move to another metro, out-of-towners are making it difficult for local residents to win bidding wars. The average out-of-towner moving to Phoenix has $630,000 to spend on a home, versus $510,000 for locals.<\/h2>\n

Nationwide, 31.5% of Redfin.com users looked to move to a different metro area in the first quarter, up from 30.3% in the fourth quarter of 2020 and 26% a year earlier. It\u2019s the highest share since Redfin started tracking migration in 2017.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The upswing in people moving from one area to another since the start of the pandemic is due partly to remote workers moving to relatively affordable areas in search of larger homes with more outdoor space. One consequence of pandemic-driven migration is that out-of-towners are driving up home prices and making it difficult for local residents to win bidding wars. That\u2019s because out-of-towners tend to have significantly bigger budgets than locals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Out-of-towners have significantly bigger budgets than locals in the most popular migration destinations<\/h3>\n

The average housing budget for out-of-towners moving to Phoenix<\/a>, the number-one migration destination for Redfin.com users in the first quarter, was $627,000, 23% higher than the $510,000 average budget for local buyers. In Austin<\/a>, the next-most popular destination, out-of-towners had an average budget of $855,000, 32% higher than the average local budget. Next comes Las Vegas<\/a>, where the average out-of-towner had a $582,000 budget, 16% higher than locals. See the end of this report for a complete list of out-of-town versus local budgets for the cities included in our analysis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cRemote work is here to stay for many Americans. The long-term cultural shift is disseminating money once concentrated on the coasts throughout the country,\u201d said Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather<\/a>. \u201cAffluent remote workers are able to get more for their money by moving from job centers like the Bay Area to more affordable places like Phoenix<\/a> and Las Vegas<\/a>. But local residents looking to buy their first home are losing out because of the big budgets flowing into their hometowns. Many local buyers, particularly those who aren\u2019t selling a home to fund their purchase, are being forced to compromise. They\u2019re searching for smaller homes in farther-flung neighborhoods, or even dropping out of the search altogether.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phoenix<\/a> home-sale prices were up 20% year over year to $366,000 in March, and they were up 28.2% to $427,000 in Austin<\/a> and 13.9% to $336,000 in Las Vegas<\/a>. But even with significant increases, prices in those destinations are much lower than the places migrants are moving in from. In the San Francisco<\/a> Bay Area, the top origin for people moving to Austin<\/a>, the typical home sold for $1.43 million in March, and in Los Angeles<\/a>, the top origin for people moving to Phoenix<\/a> and Las Vegas<\/a>, it was $774,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only are a lot of remote workers moving to Las Vegas<\/a>, but many people are moving here and bringing their businesses with them, setting up shop in Nevada,\u201d said local Redfin real estate agent Lori Garlick<\/a>. \u201cInventory is so low that the market is frustrating for locals, first-time buyers and people who don\u2019t have big down payments. Potential buyers are waiting in line to tour anything with a pool and a nice-sized lot. But if a buyer doesn\u2019t have a budget big enough to pay over list price and throw in other incentives for the seller, like waiving the appraisal fee, they\u2019re just not going to get the house.\u201d<\/p>\n

The average housing budget for out-of-towners moving to Nashville<\/a> in the first quarter was $719,000, 48% higher than the $485,000 average budget for local buyers, a bigger premium than any other metro. It\u2019s followed by Atlanta<\/a>, where out-of-towners have an average budget of $698,000, 33% higher than the average local budget.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Atlanta<\/a>, where 26% of Redfin.com users searching for homes in the first quarter were from out of town, was the fifth-most popular migration destination in the first quarter. Nashville<\/a>, where 39% of Redfin.com users searching for homes in the first quarter were from out of town, is also a popular destination.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Out-of-towners have bigger budgets than locals in 32 of the 35 cities included in the budget analysis. San Francisco<\/a>, San Jose<\/a> and Fremont, CA<\/a> (part of the Oakland<\/a> metro) are the only cities where locals have higher budgets than migrants. That stands to reason, as the Bay Area has the highest median income in the country, which means locals are likely able to afford higher-priced homes than those moving in from other areas.<\/p>\n

See the end of this report for a table with detailed data on local versus out-of-town homebuying budgets for all the cities included in this analysis.<\/p>\n

Relatively affordable metros continue to pick up in popularity<\/h3>\n

Dallas<\/a> and Atlanta<\/a> were the next-most popular destinations for people looking to move to a different area, meaning they–along with Phoenix<\/a>, Austin<\/a> and Las Vegas<\/a>–had the biggest net inflows of Redfin.com users in the first quarter. A net inflow is a measure of how many more Redfin.com home searchers looked to move into a metro than leave, out of a sample of 2 million users.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Relatively affordable inland metros are typically the most sought-after for Redfin.com users looking to leave their home metro, a trend that has intensified with the pandemic. Net inflow of home searchers has increased significantly from a year ago in all of the top 10 migration destinations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Migrants are looking to move away from New York, the Bay Area and Los Angeles<\/h3>\n

In terms of places people are looking to leave, New York<\/a>, the Bay Area, Los Angeles<\/a>, Washington, D.C.<\/a> and Seattle<\/a> top the list of places with the biggest net outflow in the first quarter. A net outflow is a measure of how many more Redfin.com home searchers looked to leave a metro than move in, out of a sample of 2 million users.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Expensive coastal cities tend to be the places Redfin.com home searchers are looking to leave; in fact, the list of places with the biggest net outflow is the same as it was in the fourth quarter of last year. But as is the case with inflow to the most popular destinations, net outflow has shot up over the last year, more than doubling in seven of the top 10 places migrants are looking to leave.<\/p>\n

Methodology<\/h3>\n

The migration analysis is based on a sample of more than 2 million Redfin.com users who searched for homes across 87 metro areas in the first quarter, excluding searches unlikely to precede an actual relocation or home purchase. To be included in this dataset, a Redfin.com user must have viewed at least 10 homes in a particular metro area, and homes in that area must make up at least 80% of the user\u2019s searches.<\/p>\n

The budget analysis is based on average maximum list-price filters for homes set by Redfin.com users in their saved searches.\u00a0 The analysis includes cities in the U.S. with at least 3,000 Redfin.com home searchers from inside the metro and 3,000 from outside the metro last year. Note that the budget analysis is based on cities, while the migration analysis is based on metro areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
