Are neighbors in your county looking to escape the state when they purchase their next home? Or are they searching in the next town over?

A 2022 report done by the National Association of Realtors showed 96% of homebuyers used online tools when searching for a home in the United States, solidifying online house hunting as essential to the buying process.

Home inventory is sitting at record lows as higher interest rates lock Americans into their existing mortgages and dissuade them from selling. Get a leg up on the competition by scoping out where they’re hunting.
