Out-of-towners had higher budgets in 19 of the 23 cities in this analysis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s according to an analysis of average maximum list-price filters for homes set by Redfin.com users in their saved searches. The analysis includes U.S. cities with at least 1,500 Redfin.com home searchers from inside the metro and 1,500 from outside the metro from January through June 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Newcomers to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/15502\/PA\/Philadelphia\">Philadelphia<\/a> have significantly higher budgets because they typically come from coastal job centers with high salaries and cash on hand from selling a high-value home. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/15502\/PA\/Philadelphia\">Philadelphia<\/a>\u2019s popularity with affluent out-of-town homebuyers shot up at the beginning of the pandemic as remote work made it feasible to move to a more affordable area while keeping a high hometown salary. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30749\/NY\/New-York\">New York<\/a> is by far the most common origin for out-of-towners moving to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/15502\/PA\/Philadelphia\">Philadelphia<\/a>, and it also attracts a lot of migrants from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/12839\/DC\/Washington-DC\">Washington, D.C.<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/11203\/CA\/Los-Angeles\">Los Angeles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/15502\/PA\/Philadelphia\">Philadelphia<\/a> sits right between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30749\/NY\/New-York\">New York<\/a> and D.C., both places where the cost of living is essentially triple what it is here,\u201d said local Redfin agent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/trey-dodge\">Trey Dodge<\/a>. \u201cFull-time remote workers\u2013and some people who commute the 90 minutes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30749\/NY\/New-York\">New York<\/a> a few days a week\u2013realize they can get more for their money here, while still reaping the benefits of a big-city lifestyle. I\u2019ve watched home prices rise over the last two years, and it\u2019s mostly because out-of-towners are buying high-end properties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The typical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/15502\/PA\/Philadelphia\">Philadelphia<\/a> home sold for just $300,000 in June, less than half of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30749\/NY\/New-York\">New York<\/a>\u2019s $705,000 median sale price. Prices in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/15502\/PA\/Philadelphia\">Philadelphia<\/a> have also grown slower: They\u2019re up 20% from the beginning of the pandemic, compared with a 26% jump in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30749\/NY\/New-York\">New York<\/a> and a 38% nationwide bump.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though the housing market has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/housing-market-update-homes-take-longer-to-sell\/\">slowed<\/a>, the share of homebuyers moving to different parts of the country has not,\u201d said Redfin Deputy Chief Economist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/author\/taylormarr\/page\/3\/\">Taylor Marr<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s partly because home prices and mortgage rates have increased so much that homebuyers with the flexibility to relocate are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/q2-2022-housing-migration-trends\/\">seeking out<\/a> affordable areas. Someone moving from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/11203\/CA\/Los-Angeles\">Los Angeles<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/15502\/PA\/Philadelphia\">Philadelphia<\/a> may have a higher monthly housing payment than they would have six months ago, but it\u2019s still much lower than it would be in coastal California.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe market looks different for locals, many of whom are priced out or driven to search in the suburbs because both home prices and mortgage payments have risen significantly in the last year,\u201d Marr continued. \u201cBut local buyers may get a break as the market cools and competition <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/real-estate-bidding-wars-june-2022\/\">slows<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30756\/GA\/Atlanta\">Atlanta<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30794\/TX\/Dallas\">Dallas<\/a> are also popular pandemic-fueled migration destinations. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30794\/TX\/Dallas\">Dallas<\/a> was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/q2-2022-housing-migration-trends\/\">10th most popular<\/a> destination in the second quarter, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30756\/GA\/Atlanta\">Atlanta<\/a> came in at number 12.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Newcomers to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30756\/GA\/Atlanta\">Atlanta<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30794\/TX\/Dallas\">Dallas<\/a> have bigger budgets for much the same reason they do in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/15502\/PA\/Philadelphia\">Philadelphia<\/a>: They\u2019re typically coming from more expensive places with higher incomes, most prominently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30749\/NY\/New-York\">New York<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/11203\/CA\/Los-Angeles\">Los Angeles<\/a>. The typical homes in both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30756\/GA\/Atlanta\">Atlanta<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30794\/TX\/Dallas\">Dallas<\/a> sold for under $460,000 in June, much lower than prices in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30749\/NY\/New-York\">New York<\/a> ($705,000) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/11203\/CA\/Los-Angeles\">Los Angeles<\/a> ($890,000).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The places with the biggest budget gaps are different now than at the beginning of the pandemic. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/13415\/TN\/Nashville\">Nashville<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30756\/GA\/Atlanta\">Atlanta<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30818\/TX\/Austin\">Austin<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/migrants-versus-locals-homebuying-budget\/\">topped the list<\/a> of places where newcomers had the biggest budget premiums in 2020.

The flow of homebuyers leaving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30749\/NY\/New-York\">New York<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/q2-2022-housing-migration-trends\/\">slowed significantly<\/a> in the first half of 2022 as some workers returned to the office and social and cultural events ramped back up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of the people who can afford to buy homes in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30749\/NY\/New-York\">New York<\/a> right now are those moving back to the city after a pandemic hiatus, and they likely have more money than the locals who stayed put,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/masha-berman\">Masha Berman<\/a>, a Redfin agent in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30749\/NY\/New-York\">New York<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m also seeing a lot of out-of-town investors and affluent pied-a-terre buyers.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Locals have bigger budgets in the Bay Area<\/h3>\n<p>Locals had higher budgets than out-of-towners in four of the 23 cities, all of them in California and three in the Bay Area.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The average budget for locals in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/6671\/CA\/Fremont\">Fremont, CA<\/a> (located in the East Bay) was about $1.9 million, 20% higher than the average migrant budget and the biggest gap among the cities in this analysis. Next comes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/17151\/CA\/San-Francisco\">San Francisco<\/a>, where the average local budget was about $2.1 million, 12% higher than the average migrant budget.
