Texas
Texas continues to be the most sought after location for moving, according to the 2014 Texas Relocation Report released by the Texas Association of Realtors. Texas gains more out-of-state residents than any other state and is a leader in home sales from international buyers. For every Texan who moves to California, two Californians move to Texas, according to the report, and this helps drive sales of homes in the luxury market. Houston had the largest number of luxury home sales, with those sales up 13 percent from the previous year.
