>> WELCOME BACK TO BETWEEN
BELLS REAL ESTATE MARKETPLACE
COMPANY ZILLOW HAS OFFICIALLY
RELEASED THE MOST POPULAR CITY
OF 2021 REIGNING SUPREME THIS
YEAR
A SOUTHLAKE AS THE WEST COAST
NEARLY SWEEPS A LIST OF MOST IN
DEMAND PLACES OF THE YEAR ALSO
INCLUDING THE MOST POPULAR
VACATION TOWN
BEACH TOWN AND SMALL TOWN HERE
TO DISCUSS THIS YEAR'S LIST IS
AMANDA PENDLETON ZILLOW HOME
TRENDS WELCOME TO
THE SHOW ZILLOW ANALYZING
THOUSANDS
OF ZIP ROADS WITHIN THE
NATION'S 100 LARGEST
METROPOLITAN AREA TO CREATE THE
SITE'S MOST POPULAR WHAT OTHER
CITIES MADE THE LIST THIS YEAR.
BOY SO WE HAD SOUTH LAKE TAHOE
AS YOU MENTIONED TOPPING THE
LIST MOST MOST POPULAR PLACES
IN
2021.
>> BIG BEAR LAKE WAS OUR TOP
VACATION DESTINATION OF THE
YEAR THAT'S ALSO
IN CALIFORNIA. NEWPORT OREGON
WAS OUR TOP BEACH TOWN TEMPE
ARIZONA ARE CUP COLLEGE TOWN
LAB, A LAB NEW JERSEY WAS THE
TOP
RETIREMENT COMMUNITY.
>> I AM SO SURPRISED AND
IMPRESSED WITH THIS LIST I FEEL
LIKE I'M WELL TRAVELED. I THINK
I'VE GONE TO ANY OF THOSE
CITIES THAT HAVE TO CHECK
THEM OUT OBVIOUSLY THE PANDEMIC
HAS ALLOWED SO MANY OF US TO
WORK REMOTE OR IN AT LEAST IN A
HYBRID KIND
OF ENVIRONMENT. HOW IS THIS
YEAR'S LIST REFLECTED THAT
TREND THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE
LAST YEAR OR 2.
>> DURING THE PANDEMIC WE
REALLY SAW AN ACCELERATION OF
TRENDS THAT WE HAVE BEEN
STAYING PRETTY PANDEMIC WE SAW
A MIGRATION TO AREAS THAT ARE
RELATIVELY AFFORDABLE HE AND
HERE AROUND
OUTDOOR LIVING AND THEN THE
PANDEMIC HIT THEN SUDDENLY WE
SAW SOME HUGE INTEREST A SURGE
OF INTEREST IN VACATION
DESTINATIONS. NOT ONLY AS A
SECONDARY HOME,
BUT ALSO AS A PRIMARY RESIDENCE
FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW
WORKING REMOTELY AND COULD LIVE
IN WORK WHEREVER THEY WANT IT.
PLUS ANOTHER TREND THAT WE SAW
DURING THE PANDEMIC WAS THE
RISE OF ZILLOW SIR I THINK IT
BECAME THE
GREAT PANDEMIC LAST TIME A LOT
OF PEOPLE
TURNING TO ZILLOW TO THIS TAPE
AND TO DREAM AND IMAGINE THE
POSSIBILITIES THE MOVE COULD
BRING SO COMBINING ALL THOSE 3
TRENDS AND YOU CAN SEE WHY
PEOPLE WERE REALLY WSIL AWAY IN
THESE PARTICULAR.
>> I SET MY MIND DIRECTLY WENT
TO THAT SNL SKITS WITH A SKETCH
WHEN THEY MADE FUN OF ALL OF US
SPENDING A LOT OF TIME ON
ZILLOW AND I'M ONE OF
THOSE PEOPLE.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CITY OF
NEW PORT IN OREGON'S CENTRAL
COAST HAVE THE HIGHEST NUMBER
OF.
>> PAGE VIEWS AND LISTINGS ON
ZILLOW MENTIONING THE WORD
BEACH IN ITS DESCRIPTION WHY
NEW PORT IN OREGON WHY THIS
BEACH TOWN.
>> I MEAN IT'S NOT THE FIRST
PLACE YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU
THINK OF BEACH DESTINATIONS IN
THE
U.S. RIGHT. BUT NEWPORT OREGON
IS ACTUALLY A REALLY DESIRABLE
LOCATION IS.
>> LITTLE BEACHES,
GORGEOUS SUNSETS.
>> VERY CLOSE TO OREGON'S WINE
COUNTRY'S GOT HISTORIC LIFE I
WAS AND IT DRAWS BUYERS FROM
ALL UP AND DOWN THE WEST.
SO FROM SAN FRANCISCO FOR
PORTLAND ALL THE WAY
IT'S YEAH.
>> BIG BEAR LAKE CALIFORNIA
ZILLOW'S MOST POPULAR
VACATION TOWN. WE HAVE TO
NOTICE IS THAT A LOT OF THESE
POPULAR DESTINATIONS, THE
CITIES ARE ON THE WEST COAST.
WHY DO YOU THINK THE WEST COAST
IS SO POPULAR RIGHT NOW ON YOUR
PLATFORM OR DATA.
>> YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU
MENTIONED BIG BEAR OBVIOUSLY
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE UPPING OUR
LIST THIS YEAR BOTH
IN CALIFORNIA. AND BOTH OF
THOSE PLACES I SHOULD POINT OUT
SOME OF THEIR HOME VALUES
APPRECIATE BY MORE THAN 38%
YEAR
OVER YEAR. INTEREST IN THOSE
DESTINATIONS AND CIRCLE LINES
WITH THIS PANDEMIC TRENDS I WAS
TALKING ABOUT
THESE PLACES ARE RELATIVELY
AFFORDABLE IF YOU'RE COMING
FROM ARE REALLY THE EXPENSE OF
WEST COAST METRO LIKE SAN
FRANCISCO, LOS ANGELES OR
SAN DIEGO. AND THEY OFFER YOUR
OWN AFTER LIVING THERE GOT
SKIING IN THE WINTER AND THEY
GOT WATER SPORTS IN THE SUMMER
AND THEN OF COURSE YOU'VE GOT
THE PERENNIAL. FAVORITES UNTIL
I WIN CALIFORNIA LIKE
CALABASSAS IN MALIBU WHERE
YOU KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF
DREAMERS LOOKING AROUND AND
SEEING WHAT THEY COULD PURCHASE
IF THEY WERE TO WIN THE
LOTTERY. WHAT I THINK ONE OF
THE MOST OF.
>> PRISING CITIES WASN'T I HOPE
I'M SAYING THIS RIGHT PRE
PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M NOT
THE TOWN IN NEW JERSEY A LOT OF
A LOT. I NEVER HEARD OF IT AND
I'M IN NEW YORK IN THE TRUCK
TRI-STATES THE MOST POPULAR
RETIREMENT TOWN. THE NEXT ON
THE LIST WAS DOING IN FLORIDA
AND SAINT PETE
BEACH, FLORIDA BASED ON
ZILLOW'S DATA WISE NEW JERSEY
NUMBER ONE FOR RETIREES
COMPARED TO FLORIDA.
>> IF THAT WAS A BIT OF A
SURPRISE ABSOLUTELY DON'T COUNT
FLORIDA OUT 7 OF THE TOP 10
RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS OF SULLIVAN
THIS YEAR WE'RE ALL IN FLORIDA.
LET'S GET A LOT GOING
FOR IT, IT'S GOT A LOT OF GOLF
COURSES IT'S GOT BEAUTIFUL
BEACHES.
ACTUALLY RELATIVELY CLOSE A LOT
OF THE EAST COAST METROS
WHERE RETIRED, YOU CAN VISIT
GRANDKIDS OR MAYBE THEIR
FRIENDS AND WHAT WE SAW A LEVEL
THAT WAS
IS PAGE VIEWS PER LISTING IN
THIS CATEGORY REALLY HIGH SHARE
OF RETIREES LIVING THERE.
>> ANYTHING SURPRISE YOU FROM
ZILLOW'S LIST, WHAT SURPRISED
YOU THE MOST I SHOULD ASK
AMANDA.
>> WELL I THINK IT WAS A
COMBINATION OF 2 THINGS THAT
ARE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT
THE HOUSE I'D BE SHOCKED OREGON
TOP BEACH TOWNS ACROSS THE ALSO
HOW LEVEL UP PERFORMED
A SUSPECT AGAINST YOU KNOW A
LOT OF THE TRADITIONAL
RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
AND FLORIDA.
>> ARE THERE ANY CITIES.
YOU'RE SURPRISED DIDN'T MAKE
THE LIST THAT WERE MORE POPULAR
IN YEARS PAST.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT WE HAVE SEEN
AS A REAL SURGE IN THE SUN BELT
THIS PAST YEAR AND REALLY FOR
THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
SO THE KNICKS AND AUSTIN AND
RALEIGH AND THESE ARE
THE PLACE THAT'S WHERE WE'VE
SEEN INCREDIBLE HOME VALUE
APPRECIATION AS PEOPLE DO MIKE
TO THOSE AREAS THAT OFFER
RELATIVE AFFORDABILITY AND
YOU'RE AROUND LIVING. SO WHILE
THOSE DID RANKED FAIRLY HIGH ON
OUR LIST THEY JUST DIDN'T CRACK
