Metros with people interested in moving to Austin

Despite the Austin housing market showing signs of cooling after more than a decade of rapid growth, there are still plenty of people looking to “keep Austin weird.”

Redfin analyzed search data from prospective homebuyers to find the top 10 cities where people are looking to move to Austin from.

Dallas homebuyers searched to move to the liberal Texas city more than any other metro, followed by San Francisco and Los Angeles. The ranking covers September to November 2024.

Even though the Austin market is cooling somewhat — demand is still booming. Census data show the Austin metropolitan area is still the second-fastest growing metropolitan area in the country, after a 12-year stint in first place.
