Retiree Migration from Connecticut and New Jersey to Florida Under Scrutiny
What happened
Retirees are increasingly moving from Connecticut and New Jersey to states such as Florida and those in the Carolinas, a trend being tracked alongside broader U.S. home sales patterns. When these retirees sell property in the Northeast, they must weigh the property taxes of the destination state against the costs incurred during the sale. These costs include commissions, which average 5.7% of the sale price nationally, and potential buyer concessions.

Why it matters
The migration patterns involve complex financial considerations, such as transfer and recording taxes and attorney fees, which can reduce the home equity received by the seller. This movement impacts housing demand and population dynamics across several states.
