NEW YORK, June 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The desire for more space and flexibility to work remotely prompted Americans to rethink what they want in a home over the past year. While for some it meant relocating to a different state, nearly six of every 10 pandemic homebuyers opted for a new, often less populated city in the same state, according to a new survey released today by Knock, the real estate technology company that is empowering people to move freely.
According to the survey of more than 2,000 homeowners, the pandemic encouraged younger generations of homeowners to move, a trend that will continue in the coming year. Among those who moved during the pandemic, 58% were either millennials or Gen Z. However, rather than moving across the country, many are choosing less-populated suburban and rural areas in their existing state.
