the rise of remote working might be one reason. The commute to work is one less thing remote workers and hybrid-workers have to worry about. personally, the amount of quality and human-friendly housing is getting more rare than I'd like. Newer apartments feel cold and unnatural, it almost feels like paying a lot of money to rent a prison cell. Renovated or flipped houses also seem to use the same material: lots of grey and white, and that infamous grey-ish/black-ish vinyl faux-wood flooring. No trees. What vegetation I see is well kept grass. Housing in general, while it maybe a good investment if you own it. To live in a rented or owned house alike feels like entering into a long term contract with low return on investment. I fear this would get only worse, because the government will build lots of new apartments and incentivize builders to build lots of cookie-cutter houses. If you have safe and secure housing and you're ok with your commute and job-search situation, there isn't much reason to move unless you're building a house or you're lucky enough to find an HOA-free community.
