More so than affordability challenges, weather and climate concerns top the reasons Americans are choosing to move states. According to a report from real estate marketing platform Redfin, 22% of U.S. residents who are moving to a different state are doing so in search of better weather.

Better weather is a top concern for homebuyers

Among 29 options in Redfin’s survey, better weather was the top reason movers say they’re looking to move states. Additionally, 21% say they’re concerned about climate change. Meanwhile, 19% say they’re moving states for a new job, and 18% each say they’re moving to be closer to family, for lower overall cost of living, and to upgrade to a better neighborhood.

Where are buyers moving for better weather?

According to Redfin data, buyers are consistently moving out of colder northern metros to Southern metros. Many Florida metros as well as Las Vegas and Sacramento topped the list. Of the respondents who are planning an out-of-state move, 14% are moving to Florida, followed closely by Texas at 13%, and then California at 11%.
