Scores of families left major cities in search of affordability and space. But while house hunters continue to relocate at a higher rate than they did early in the pandemic, migration has cooled this summer as life in the U.S. has returned, at least somewhat, to normal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The slight dip in migration has coincided with a slowdown in the broader housing market: Homebuyer competition, home-sales growth and interest in second homes, for example, are all on the decline. It&#8217;s worth noting that the housing market typically slows at this time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re not seeing the level of movement we saw at the end of 2020 and the start of 2021, but a lot of people are still looking to move to new cities,&#8221; said Redfin Lead Economist Taylor Marr. &#8220;Worker turnover is one reason interest in relocating remains high. Scores of Americans are quitting their jobs in search of better salaries, benefits and flexibility. Once they find their next gig, people are often able to move for affordability or a better lifestyle.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Miami and Sacramento are the top destinations for relocating buyers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miami, Sacramento, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Tampa were the most popular migration destinations of any major U.S. metros in July and August, meaning they had the largest net inflows. A net inflow is a measure of how many more Redfin.com home searchers looked to move into a metro than leave.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metros that are more affordable than major coastal cities like San Francisco and New York, and feature warmer weather, frequently make the list of top migration destinations. They&#8217;ve become even more popular during the pandemic because homebuyers who work remotely have had the freedom to prioritize affordability and space over proximity to the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The influx of homebuyers into Las Vegas eased a little in August, but appears to have picked back up in September,&#8221; said local Redfin real estate agent Cheryl Van Elsis. &#8220;August seems to be a little slow every year because it&#8217;s so scorching hot here. People are also heading out on vacation and families are preparing to send their kids back to school.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>San Francisco and Los Angeles are the top places homebuyers are leaving behind\u00a0<br><\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/email.prnewswire.com\/ls\/click?upn=OXp-2BEvHp8OzhyU1j9bSWuwMvMWelqIco5RbfBrouY-2BR-2FitrwEnCQVYmH5h9Nac8cvHYy0Inm08Tw75tFhM4tdMZQLdW09apf5q72wxJjVhZ5mcK3EQFrutv9GoIVwqo5JanTCCGi0plE4NQL8fm2Qcrlafn6W72O06P3jt0tMjkmGnGS0OtgC0FRCh9jkHrS50fDHwPvAFUXrctQWQ3xaA-3D-3DOOjH_-2FYltCSDm0LSzJb4zkeGx22RBM1w0wt9IYC5iw2B19NAg9iGiJQgwP3Oq66ON70XiCtFYUS5U1uJ3vowFJtiyXF2ZACRrqnki5uEnkHD-2FWy0qkYJjaHrMILCFHhWxTM-2FbJq-2FjH8D0axStIAn9zDwIs8tjM-2BpqwPwZHp-2BIWMuztr-2FWngOI6G9pUFaulfa-2FQGmr1iWXsSEHhdom0yeMSkSmBfNYwz3AFcC-2FgwsKDvODCSae3WWrqT4GsQeX-2FiTGCAL3Z-2F6QQJgF5YCzA7-2FrSOH9IoHAFpE112paXEOMhw9v799KnNGgIqFgIJ-2FGssMEHbncIBOVy3Z7cjbF7-2BjWgSckDgj8w-2BK7jrnDLZxbCkvm9eg-3D\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">San Francisco<\/a>,\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/email.prnewswire.com\/ls\/click?upn=OXp-2BEvHp8OzhyU1j9bSWuwMvMWelqIco5RbfBrouY-2BR-2FitrwEnCQVYmH5h9Nac8cX-2BG-2BIiqAgOmZPrQfPUeC0LJNVOdWzIHdHjNxJa6OK0YAOYfDcwLNFwcqyALhvxaAtF3WaxXrkuu7gDWdtgrgn85s7m4utr7zTTdRcCMJkc3OQSkK85z7WVBLLH9iwK8T7AP4_-2FYltCSDm0LSzJb4zkeGx22RBM1w0wt9IYC5iw2B19NAg9iGiJQgwP3Oq66ON70XiCtFYUS5U1uJ3vowFJtiyXF2ZACRrqnki5uEnkHD-2FWy0qkYJjaHrMILCFHhWxTM-2FbJq-2FjH8D0axStIAn9zDwIs8tjM-2BpqwPwZHp-2BIWMuztr-2FWngOI6G9pUFaulfa-2FQGmr1iWXsSEHhdom0yeMSkSmBaNFhOkUYSQS4zVR5vf85Vj6AJkEkuQL-2Fbxnl-2F-2F4S7Rn8Vyx3fnuOFEV6TnIQzPXg6mnw-2B2S1wXG7JjJKdSF-2BZN8n35Eurc-2FiGEPFzqpCw-2FrIcu9GSG7lwI-2FSowkvq3oY-2Bx6l87-2FOy0oEb7nB9YA6bg-3D\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Los Angeles<\/a>, New York, Washington, D.C. and Boston saw more Redfin.com users aim to leave than any other metro areas in July and August, meaning they had the biggest net outflows.
