From what I have read a lot of the movement during COVID has been from major metro are to nearby smaller city. For example in my midwestern city (Minneapolis) there was a recent article in the paper about home prices in a smaller (but touristy / historic )town ~2 hours away (Duluth,MN). The claim was a lot of people from Minneapolis were moving there. I've read the same about SF residents moving to Sacramento or something like that. You can work from home, still hit the office 1-4x a month, see family, etc. so it makes sense.
