In third place was Anaheim (55 percent), followed by Oakland (49 percent), San Diego (40 percent) and Los Angeles (38 percent).
As expected, the top six cities were in California, the state with the largest population and highest median home prices.
In fact, home prices in California have reached such astronomical levels that residents are fleeing the Golden State in search of cheaper properties, opting instead for states like Florida, Texas and North Carolina.
