Las Vegas, NV
Phoenix, AZ
Orlando, FL
Those cities are so expensive and congested right now. Can’t imagine moving there.

Without a horrendous amount of energy to run air conditioning, Las Vegas and Phoenix would vanish. Neither place makes sense to exist.

The survey also found several popular reasons U.S. homeowners decided to relocate. Moved for lower overall cost of living: 20% Wanted a better deal on a home: 15% Couldn’t afford a home/the cost of living in their previous area: 13% Concerned about the impact of climate change on their previous area: 4% of U.S. residents

What they didn’t tell you.

Wanted to get away from democrats: 48%

Articles like this reminds me of when my oldest brother and his wife bought their first house. In the late 1970s, yes, the Jimmy Carter years. The mortgage rate was 17%. I was working at a grocery store, and prices were increasing every week. A few years before, one could memorize hundreds of prices. After the Peanut Man took over, the grocery store had hire someone just to change the prices over and over.

“North Port-Sarasota, FL”

I live in an area between those two places.

I would not choose to move here.

It is hot for about 9 months of the year and the traffic is bad.

New houses tend to be packed together and houses built four to five decades ago tend to need expensive work.

Florida coastal area homeowner insurance quite often costs about as much as a mortgage.

Because house prices are now high, out-of-state buyers will find their taxes to be quite high.

I believe while average home prices are high, people are fleeing those areas which have been given over to crime. They want value for their homes before the prices drop well below the loans on them. This is a bubble that will burst.

One would think a journalist would know the difference between “less” and “fewer”.

No one is leaving Hartford, there’s no one there. Seriously it’s the opposite of a bedroom community. People work there during the day and leave for the suburbs at 5:00.

It is true people are leaving Connecticut generally. It been a democrat hellhole for decades.

*****************

Are they saying that no one is concerned about increasing crime, onerous taxes, or a hostile political climate????? This validity of the four reasons listed above is highly dubious.

WRONG: "While less people are relocating than a year ago,"
CORRECT: "While fewer people are relocating than a year ago,"

'Less' designates a collection or quantity, 'fewer' designates a count.
I have less money because I have fewer dollars.
NOT! I have fewer money because I have less dollars.
/rant OFF
Peace
