The study examined more than two million Redfin users who looked at homes for sale online across more than 100 metro areas from August to October of this year. Sacramento came in the top spot for highest net inflow of property searches on Redfin’s website - net inflow is defined as "the number of people looking to move into a metro minus the number of people looking to leave."
The top metro area where Americans moved to between July 2019 and July 2021 was Sarasota, Florida, according to Mayflower.
