About one-in-seven people who recently moved said they would not live in a place where abortion is fully legal, according to a <strong>Redfin <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/homebuyer-willingness-to-relocate-survey-politics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report<\/a> released this week. However, roughly one-in-eight people surveyed would only live somewhere abortion was fully legal, illustrating just how divided people are on this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Redfin survey was conducted in August 2021 and collected data from 1,023 people who had relocated to a new metropolitan area since March 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In total, the survey found that 40% of respondents said they would prefer to live in a place where abortion was fully legal, while 32% said they would prefer not to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the increase in work flexibility stemming from the pandemic, interest in relocating has risen drastically over the past 18 months, as Americans are able to prioritize affordability and proximity to family. Pre-pandemic, 26% of Redfin users were looking to move to a different metro area, this percentage rose to an all-time high of 31.5% in early 2021, and while it dropped off to 30.1% in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/july-august-2021-housing-migration-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">July and August<\/a>, it is still a considerable increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-vivid-red-background-color has-vivid-red-color\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.housingwire.com\/white-paper\/the-millennial-guide-how-real-estate-agents-can-win-over-this-critical-audience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Millennial Guide: How Real Estate Agents Can Win Over this Critical Audience<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">This white paper covers strategies for targeting the growing market of millennials and connecting with them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-presented-by-doma\"><strong>Presented by: <\/strong><strong>Doma<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-vivid-red-background-color has-vivid-red-color\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople take the politics of a place into consideration when deciding where to move, but the truth of the matter is that other factors including housing affordability and access to jobs and schools take priority,\u201d&nbsp;Taylor Marr, Redfin\u2019s deputy chief economist, said in a statement. \u201cOftentimes this means someone will move from a blue state to a red state (or vice versa), but choose a home in a neighborhood where most people hold the same political views as they do. Austin\u2014a liberal Texas enclave that\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.housingwire.com\/articles\/working-with-buyers-in-the-nations-hottest-housing-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">attracting<\/a> scores of left-leaning folks from pricier coastal cities\u2014is just one example.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abortion is hardly the only issue recent homebuyers took into consideration when relocating. Nearly half (49%) of respondents expressed a desire to live somewhere with anti-discrimination laws related to gender and sexual orientation, while 23% said they would prefer not to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past few months this has become an increasingly hot issue. In the first quarter of 2021 roughly half of all U.S. states introduced more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/coming-out-day-biden-lgbtq-equality-act-a476cfc0-5f1e-417f-a719-9c950421226e.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">anti-trans bills<\/a> than the total number introduced in all of 2020. These bills include laws that would ban trans athletes from school sports and make it a criminal offense to seek gender affirming care for trans children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other issues driving recent movers\u2019 choice in metro area, according to Redfin, were voter protection laws and legal marijuana. The majority of respondents (55%) had a positive view on living in a place with strong voting rights protection and\/or easy vote-by-mail. This is far greater than the 16% of respondents who had a negative view on the issue. On the issue of marijuana legality, 46% of recent movers said they wanted to live somewhere with legal recreational marijuana use and 22% said they did not want to live in a metro area recreational marijuana is legal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People take the politics of a place into consideration when deciding where to move, but other factors including housing affordability and access to jobs and schools take priority, Redfin study shows<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34740,"featured_media":4822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3255],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1760],"class_list":["post-2574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
