Long-term Outlook For California

[Jackson Andrews]

Howdy Bigger Pockets Peeps, As an agent in Austin TX, I have felt the inundation of California Natives to the Hill Country of Texas. This exodus has only just started but it has had a fairly significant impact on our market giving us a large amount of demand for both rental and luxury properties and a lack of supply (30% less supply than Q3 2019). Have my people inlaces like  Nevada,Tennessee, Florida experienced this as well ? I am just curious about the current state of home demand in California and if the home prices will somewhat plateau or if they will depreciate. I feel that it is important to point out how geographically amazing California is, meaning that there will always be some demand to live there even if you are overpaying and taxed out the wazoo. Lastly, I have a question for all of my Californians, are as many people truly considering leaving the state as the internet is making it sound ? 

Thanks , Jackson Andrews

To answer your question as someone living in the Bay Area: I am definitely considering leaving California, and I know a lot of people who want too also. My reasons are not only due to insane taxes and HCOL , but also for political reasons that I just can't wrap my mind around anymore. One reason I am staying for now is I can make way more money here with my current job , to help with starting REI.

"I want to leave California because it's too expensive, but I want to stay because I make so much money." Classic!
