Survey Cites Many Plan San Francisco Exodus



Survey Cites Many Plan San Francisco Exodus


A Bay Area Council survey released June 4, 2018 found that 46% of San Francisco Bay Area residents plan to leave the area soon. San Franciscans cite the Bay Area's high housing and living costs as the largest reason for wanting to move. According to a new report from the real-estate company Redfin, Seattle is the top out-of-state destination for Bay Area residents. Other areas include Sacramento, California; Austin, Texas; Portland, Oregon; and Las Vegas.

The survey cites that 21% of those planning to move would like to move “anywhere cheaper”.  It seems that a good marketing campaign is in order to lure Bay Area dollars in our direction. 

On the Easterbrook Team, we have been reporting this phenomenon for the last 5 years on our blog.  The affordability index cites that only 12% of the residents can actually afford the median home of over $1.5M.
