For mortgage pros, the latest Redfin read is a reminder that relocation demand is still concentrating in specific destination markets while major coastal metros lose search activity.
The Redfin migration report published by Redfin News on September 24, 2026 says Las Vegas, Florida and Sacramento are the most popular destinations for U.S. residents looking to move to a different metro area. Redfin also reported that nine of the 10 top migration destinations are in the Sun Belt, with Spokane as the lone exception.
For loan officers, the practical takeaway is simple: relocation demand is not spread evenly. If your business touches Las Vegas, Florida, Sacramento, Spokane, Los Angeles, New York or Seattle, this is a useful signal for referral strategy, borrower follow-up and conversations with out-of-area clients.
