The pandemic sent Americans running for the suburbs. They sought out more space for work and personal life, less congestion and exposure to the Covid-19 virus, and lower costs of living.

A study from the nonpartisan Brookings Institute which looked at 56 major metro areas found that populous, urban counties saw their populations shrink considerably from 2020-2021.

And data tells us many of those Americans began their move with online search tools – including through video tours of new homes and rental units which became commonplace over the last several years. A 2022 report done by the National Association of Realtors showed 96% of homebuyers used online tools when searching for a home in the United States.
