Mrs. POF and I saw this trend emerging the past decade and saw it really accelerate about five years ago. Partly as a result of the political BS in the west coast states, we bought in the Coeur d'Alene, ID area (the "Inland Northwest"). Other reasons are the natural beauty, plenty of lakes, affordability, proximity to many ski resorts, 100-year family history in the area, friendly people and, in "The Redoubt," very conservative pro-freedom people. Unfortunately, people are flooding into our paradise.

Springfield, Ohio is #3? Wow.
They say no place in FL is in the top ten .... maybe people aren’t coming to FL anymore ... /s
Friend of mine lives in Spokane; of course the conservative side of WA state is overshadowed by Seattle so still stuck with the liberal state government. I would choose Coeur d’Alene over Spokane (and I’ve visited both towns).
Still haven’t figured out the Springfield, Ohio and Lafayette-West Lafayette, Ind., unless it’s people leaving the big cities in Ohio and Indiana.
Rest assured that Mr. Rollee and I have no screwed up liberal thinking to bring anywhere. We live in the People’s Republic of Illinois and cannot wait to leave. We are tired of being condemned for our love of America and belief that the Constitution is a sacred document. Coeur d’Alene sounds like paradise.
I live inside the beltway of washington dc. I’m moving tomorrow to leesburg VA.—about 40 miles away.
Family resettled there in 2001. We spent every summer there with our family, it is very discouraging to see our beloved paradise has been discovered.
Some nice parts of the country that will turn more blue thanks to the virus spreading from the shitholes.
Nashville is still growing beyond it’s capacity to assimilate.
Traffic is horrendous, and the leftist mayor is pushing through huge property tax increases.
Nashville is not a good alternative destination anymore.
Yup, they’re working on destroying Idaho.
People in Los Angeles were touting Coeur D’Alene as the place to go thirty-five years ago.
“To an extent, this nuance of the index is a reflection of its focus on home-price growth, said Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com. In these markets, “demand is really high, and supply is also relatively tight,” Hale said. “They’re not oversupplied.”
That contrasts with the broad Sun Belt region where “builders have done a better job of keeping up and building, so they don’t have quite the same supply constriction,” Hale added.”
Yes, and they will bring their crappy politics with them. See Palm Beach County, Florida, where the influx of New Yorkers turned it blue in ‘92 and it hasn’t budged since.
Springfield, Ohio.
They have to be kidding.
Must be more mobsters moving in.
That place, and every Springfield as far as I am concerned, is a cesspool of corruption.
“Austin-Round Rock, Texas”
Austin has Southern California-level real estate prices.
I use Marketwatch a lot but it is full Lefty. Got banned about a year ago, let me back on again recently.
CNBC not any better, and has inferior layout for quick checks of the markets.
A BS list !
“I’ve noticed that these types of articles NEVER attribute the movement of people to crappy governance.”
Pritzker is blaming census loss of congressional seat on all the college students going to school out of state!🤣
Looking at the appendix list of sources here... bentonville Arkansas whoops these places.
Hands down.
I guess it’s still a secret.

Refugees from Taxachusetts rolling down I-93 to the Boston area. I’m one of them.
