searching for a home somewhere doesn't mean you actually moved there.

But when compared to similar searches historically, you can draw conclusions from the trend.

If one assumes a similar historical probability between looking for a house and buying a house, it follows that if more people are looking for houses outside of SV, more people are also buying houses outside of SV.

At the very least, it shows that people in SV are more interested in housing markets outside of SV today than they were a few years ago, even if they don't move there.

I was thinking the same thing!
