SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nFor Seattleites traveling to watch their team compete in this weekend\u2019s big game, it\u2019s going to cost about three times their monthly mortgage payment\u2014or nearly six times their monthly rent. That\u2019s according to a new report<\/a> from Redfin<\/a>, the real estate brokerage powered by Rocket.<\/p>\n\nThe story is similar for Bostonians, who are also likely to pay about three times their mortgage payment to watch their team on the national stage. The cost would be more than four times their monthly rent.<\/p>\n
\nAll in all, it would cost $12,681 for two people to travel from Seattle to Santa Clara, CA, where this weekend\u2019s game is taking place; that includes ticket prices, airfare and lodging. For two people traveling across the country from Boston, the cost is $13,031. That\u2019s compared to median monthly mortgage payments of roughly $4,500<\/a> for Seattle residents and about $4,200<\/a> for Boston residents. The Seattle area\u2019s median rent is $2,185, and Boston\u2019s is $2,990.<\/p>\n
