“People moving in Austin Out of town usually come in with a lot of money by selling houses in expensive west coast cities – particularly in the Bay Area, “the Austin Redfin agent said Andrew Vallejo. “And those of them who can work remotely often come on the west coast on high salaries too. They usually have much more purchasing power than locals and can afford to look for bigger, more expensive homes and ultimately buy them. “
The proportion of home buyers moving to other metropolitan areas has increased over the past year as teleworking gives people the flexibility to move.

As in Austin, House prices in Boise have increased in the last year and increased year-on-year by more than 40% to a median of $ 475,000 in June.
