Wondering where the best places to move are in 2022? Over the past couple of years, we’ve all gone through and adapted to a huge amount of change in a short period of time, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. These changes only continue into 2022, as does their effect on the job market, housing market, and other variables in everyday life. 

Since many offices then decided to keep their remote setups originally implemented in 2020 and have employees work from home permanently, workers were faced with a never before seen opportunity to change where and how they’re living. 

Because they were no longer tied to their workplace’s location, people began moving to get to better climates, nice scenery, or areas that are more spread out than densely populated cities. A top priority has also been a lower cost of living, and getting more value for their money. 

Thanks to research done by Allied x Zillow, it has been determined that these moving trends will certainly continue into 2022. However, which states will be most popular amongst buyers this year? 

The most popular states to move to in 2022 are:

• Florida 

Why move to Florida in 2022? Well, Florida features some of the country’s most beautiful beaches, as well as a ton of great cities with a lot to do. The state also offers a low cost of living and a more laid back lifestyle, which is appealing to buyers. 

• Texas

Like Florida, Texas has a lot of appeal to buyers due to its lower cost of living, as well the population’s more laid back lifestyle. Texas is also currently in the midst of an economic boom, thanks to companies like Tesla and Oracle setting up their headquarters in its varied cities, which makes for a ton of job potential – even for those working remotely. 

• California

While Florida or Texas may have California beat in terms of cost of living, California’s spread out landscape, large cities, beautiful weather and diversity in climate and nature are huge selling points for renters and buyers in 2022, as well as it’s large job market. 

• Arizona

Though Arizona may not offer a ton of beaches, it is known for its beautiful scenery and plethora of national parks, plus its warm weather, low housing costs, and laid back approach to life. 

• North Carolina

North Carolina  is also a huge destination for transplants this year. This state’s housing market is heating up thanks to the state’s beautiful landscape and mountains, great beaches, nice climate, and cheap housing prices.
