Yes, sometimes there is an inner something, seemingly "IT" can be heard in a song, that drives you to get a fresh start, stop renting and buy a home. Or "IT" may be an occurrence in life or nature such as

Natural Phenomenon Occurring in Other Parts of America (Arizona not so much)

This is a great reminder that “home” is often tied to something deeper than just price or location—it’s that feeling that it’s time for a change.

Lifestyle still drives many moves, whether it’s weather, space, or simply wanting a different pace of life. When that moment hits, people usually already know.

The key is helping them move from that feeling to a well-informed decision. That’s where good guidance makes all the difference.

Strong post and a good way to connect emotion with real estate decisions.

Now the lyrics of "We gotta get out of this place" will be in my head. Only if those folks leave CA, IL, hopefully they will recognize everything you shared and leave what made CA, IL less positive at the AZ border.
