Where do people who are moving want to relocate to?
Tampa made the list. Folks are moving in droves from places including San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York. The economic uncertainty combined with the high cost of living is one of the reasons.
Taylor Marr is Redfin Deputy Chief Economist, “The overall slowdown and the popularity of relocating are both due to high home prices and mortgage rates that have doubled since last year.
