The average out-of-towner moving to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/11458\/FL\/Miami\">Miami<\/a> in 2021, for instance, had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/migrant-local-budget-difference-homebuyer\/\">25% more<\/a> to spend on a home than the average local,\u00a0 and newcomers to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/14240\/AZ\/Phoenix\">Phoenix<\/a> had 21% more.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local employers raising wages in these places accounts for part of the increase, though the extent depends on the area. Wages for workers in the private sector (not limited to homebuyers) in Boise, for instance, rose about 17% from 2019 to 2021, and they were up about 5% in Austin. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor white-collar workers earning high salaries, remote work is a huge financial boon. It enables them to move from a tech center like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/17151\/CA\/San-Francisco\">San Francisco<\/a> to a more affordable part of the country like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/2287\/ID\/Boise\">Boise<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/17150\/UT\/Salt-Lake-City\">Salt Lake City<\/a>, get more home for their money and save some for a rainy day,\u201d said Redfin Senior Economist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/author\/sheharyarbokhari\/\">Sheharyar Bokhari<\/a>. \u201cIt can have the opposite effect on locals in those destinations\u2013especially renters\u2013who are watching from the sidelines as home prices skyrocket while their income stays mostly the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPartly because of soaring home prices, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/14240\/AZ\/Phoenix\">Phoenix<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/11458\/FL\/Miami\">Miami<\/a> have some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/migration-inflation-q2-2022\/\">highest inflation<\/a> rates in the country,\u201d Bokhari continued. \u201cThat will eventually diminish the financial advantage of moving to these places for out of towners.
