What’s Driving the Great American Migration?

In our Replay today, we talk with Bob about his move to his fiancé’s small house and an innovative way to remake existing space for two work-at-home people. One bay of the exiting garage became a bar. The 400-square-foot upstairs of the garage became Bob’s space. Maureen calls it the “doghouse.” If you’re leaning toward improving vs moving, you’ll want to hear this. In our Horror Story, you’ll learn what can happen to a house where the pan in the upstairs shower didn’t extend far enough up the wall. Call it the great shower pan debacle. And in our Featured segment, gain insights from Dr. Jessica Lautz, vice president of demographics and behavioral insights for the National Association of Realtors, about why people are leaving American cities for suburbs and small towns and moving from one state to another. The patterns are different vs a year or two ago, creating a seller’s market and inventory shortage. Dr. Lautz breaks down all the reasons why this is happening and why it may continue. If you’re thinking of moving or buying rental property, this interview provides invaluable perspective.
