Now, people can\u2019t afford to move here,\u201d said Bryan Carnaggio<\/a>, a Redfin Premier<\/a> agent in Florida. \u201cThe first questions from out-of-staters are, \u2018How bad are the hurricanes? How high are insurance rates?\u2019\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nThe rising cost of housing is one factor in slowing migration to the Sun Belt, and slowing migration is now one factor pushing homebuying demand down in those areas.\n<\/p>\n \nIn some of the places where migration is slowing most, sale prices are either falling or they\u2019re flat. That\u2019s due partly to the pandemic construction boom and surging supply in Florida and Texas. There\u2019s now a surplus of homes and apartments in parts of those states, and slowing migration\u2014along with locals being priced out\u2014means there are fewer people to buy them, which is one reason demand feels slow.\n<\/p>\n Fewer people are moving out of expensive coastal job centers<\/b><\/p>\n \nOn the flip side, fewer <\/i>U.S. residents are leaving big-city job centers like New York City and Los Angeles.\n<\/p>\n \nNew York saw its net outflow shrink more than any other metro. Nearly 120,000 more residents moved out of New York City than into it in 2024, but that\u2019s compared to a net outflow of about 153,000 residents the year before. Net outflow is how many more U.S. residents move out of a metro area than move in.\n<\/p>\n \nNext comes Los Angeles, with a net outflow of 100,000 in 2024\u2014but that\u2019s compared to a net outflow of 121,000 the year before. In Washington, D.C., 16,000 more residents left than moved in, down from a net outflow of 36,000 the year before. Rounding out the top 10 are Chicago, Anaheim, CA, Philadelphia, Sacramento, Seattle, Nassau County, NY (Long Island) and Boston.\n<\/p>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
