According to new data from Coldwell Banker Real Estate, city dwellers are looking for new horizons, with Los Angeles, Denver and New York topping the lists of most frequent seekers looking to move.
The LLC Move Meter SM tool compares features like cost and quality of living city by city, and shows that Austin, Texas, reigns as the most sought-after destination, attracting potential new residents with its thriving culture, job market and affordability.
Out-of-state searches are down: Last summer, 82% of all Move Meter searches were looking to move out of state, but this year, that number dropped to 72.5%. This indicates that, while many aspire to move to distant places, a portion also wish to remain in their current state.
California, Florida and Texas lead in-state moves: Residents of California, Florida and Texas are the most satisfied staying within state lines. They lead with the most searches within their own states.
The Move Meter tool was created to give sellers and buyers a clear and informative picture of the potential to make their next move a reality.
The data collected, including tens of thousands of searches throughout this year, reveals the most searched cities, routes and states where Americans are eager to find their new residence.
