Spokane is the place to be, according to Realtor.com. But homebuyers are not so in love that they will move to Spokane at all costs. They are looking for a good deal, viewing houses that are below the median price point for the area. Other factors for the influx of out-of-towners include homebuyers fleeing high-cost areas such as Seattle. Read on to find out the other cities that made the list.
A new report from Realtor.com examined the 100 largest metropolitan areas nationwide for cross-market demand. Researchers studied views of Realtor.com listings, comparing how many people from out-of-town were looking at homes in a city versus how many locals were looking to move away.
Spokane has the highest inbound-outbound ratio, meaning significantly more people from out of the area were considering moving there compared with locals who were considering migrating elsewhere.
