More people are moving in rather than out of places up against intense drought
About three-quarters of metropolitan areas where more than half of homes experienced intense drought in August have seen more people move in than out in recent months, according to a new report from Redfin, a technology-powered real estate brokerage. In 34 of the 129 metros (26%) Redfin analyzed, more than 50% of homes experienced intense drought in mid-August. Twenty-five of those 34 metros (74%) saw net inflows in the second quarter. A net inflow means more Redfin.com users looked to move in than leave.
