A new report revealed that residents looking to leave the Bay Area have their eyes on Sacramento.

The report was conducted by Redfin, a real estate brokerage company. The report found that homebuyers are continuing to leave expensive places like San Francisco, New York, and Washington DC in search of more affordable metro areas with better weather.

The company analyzed millions of search results on the Redfin website and found that Sacramento was one of the most popular destinations along with Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Miami.

“A lot of families that were homeschooling or remote learning or didn’t know what their long-term plans were had to figure things out with work. Maybe people are still switching jobs over the last year or moving into a job that is more remote-friendly that allows them to move to a cheaper area and keep the high pay and we see a lot of that happening,” Taylor Marr, the Deputy Chief Economist at Redfin told FOX40.

He believes the trend is far from over as working from home has become more widely accepted.

“There’s a permanent critical juncture. A shift of more flexible work of more dispersed. I think there’s technology adoption that happened during the pandemic move to cheaper areas will sustain."
