While much of the country is feeling the “lock-in” effect of high interest rates, the Amarillo real estate market is telling a very different story. According to a recent report from the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), Amarillo is officially a mobility outlier, with movement rates that significantly outperform the national average.
Why This Matters for Amarillo Sellers
For local homeowners, this data is more than just a statistic—it is a massive green light. While other markets have seen a “mobility slowdown,” Amarillo’s domestic mobility rate rose to nearly 18% in 2024, up from 16.5% a decade ago.
Here is why this is great news for sellers:
- Higher Buyer Demand: With nearly one in five residents moving within the past year, there is a constant influx of people looking for homes. This is nearly double the national average of 11%.
- Insulated Market: Amarillo’s unique economic stability and affordability keep people moving even when the rest of the country is standing still.
- Strategic Opportunity: If you have been waiting for the “right time” to list, the data shows that the Amarillo market is active and fluid, providing a prime environment to get your home sold quickly and at a competitive price.
Amarillo isn’t just following trends—it’s setting them. For sellers, this means more eyes on your property and a more dynamic pool of potential buyers than almost anywhere else in the country.
