High taxes, rising taxes and an overall increase in the cost of living are causing some New Yorkers to look for a new home outside of the big apple.
But, they don’t go far.
Economists at Realtor.com identified the top areas that were most interested among residents in all five boroughs – Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Staten Island. The data analysis covers the third quarter of 2025, from July to September, before Zohran Mamdani was elected Mayor of the city.

New York State, outside the city, drew the most attention from New Yorkers, accounting for more than 14% of out-of-town listing views. New Jersey followed closely behind with 12.9%, according to the data. Pennsylvania slightly trailed Florida, with 10.7% viewership. Currently, the list of Florida is calculated at 10.4%.
The data showed that trends are driven in large part by prices. Realtor.com Analyst Hannah Jones told FOX Business that high taxes and home values are driving many BIG Apple residents to look beyond the city limits in their search for Home Chounininiship.
Now is the right time to get a mortgage – or should you wait until December?
“Recent home buying performance suggests that buyers are looking for more space and value for their money, while still wanting to remain within reach of the economic and cultural ideals that New York represents,” Jones said.
Jones also says that the increasing prevalence of remote work and hybrid work also helps their search, allowing New Yorkers New Yorkers to live far from the city center without sacrificing access to jobs without giving up jobs.

Excise duty rates fell for the fourth week in a row, the lowest level in more than a year
“As a result, areas close to resorts are becoming increasingly attractive to buyers looking for affordability, lifestyle and opportunity, trading speed and prices with more room to breathe,” Jones said.
The southern states and Marswestrn get some attention, but their share of views from New York City residents decreased last year, according to the data.
