Skyrocketing Home Prices Drive Exodus From Florida and Texas as Middle Class Seeks Affordable Housing Elsewhere

Home prices in Texas and Florida have jumped 30% and 42% since 2019.

Texans are increasingly looking at affordable homes in the Midwest, like Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Floridians are searching for homes in nearby southeastern states like North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and South Carolina.

Middle-class native Floridians are selling homes to newcomers with more money and moving out of state.

Driven by affordability, people are relocating from Florida and Texas to wherever they can find cheaper housing.
