Reminds me of one of my buddies who decided to move out of California after going permanent remote. He encountered more than one realtor who informed him that the seller intends to charge a "Californian Tax" percentage on top of the asking price to any buyer from California because they just don't want us in their communities. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

in the US? Sounds like it's time to update the Fair Housing Act to include state/city/hood/zip/street origin next to national origin. Ridiculous.

It can also be “Californians will pay over sticker so soak ‘em” vs “locals won’t”.
Also being from far away can lead to not knowing the area as well as you should and being disappointed.

Passing up money in the short term for the perceived good of your community can't be fairly equated to "cutting off your nose to spite your face". But it would be more fair for the seller to try to get to know the buyer and go from there instead of just assuming by state.
