People from these U.S. cities are searching for homes in Springfield

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Home prices are largely starting to normalize across the country, but remain high even as more homes come to the market.

Mortgage rates are keeping homes largely unaffordable for most buyers. Even a percentage point increase can increase a monthly mortgage payment by more than $100.

That’s causing potential homeowners to expand their searches outside costly urban cores, especially when they can work from home.

Stacker examined data from realtor.com’s Cross-Market Demand Report to see who’s looking to buy homes in Springfield.
