Know Before You Go. Live Well After You Do.
Moving to a new city can change your life—but it can also drain your savings if you guess wrong.
Most people rely on salary calculators, apartment listings, or internet advice to plan their move. That’s not enough.
City Shift Finance was created to give people the full financial picture before they relocate.
With a background in finance, cost analysis, and mortgage operations, I saw how often
people were “approved” for homes they technically couldn’t afford—or moved to cities that
looked affordable on paper, but weren’t livable once real-life kicked in.
✅ What Makes Our Reports Different
Our reports aren’t just cost-of-living comparisons. They’re custom forecasts that:
- Project your total lifestyle cost over the next 1–3 years
- Factor in hidden costs like insurance, commuting, food inflation, and taxes
- Highlight dealbreakers early—before you sign a lease or accept an offer
While Zillow says you can afford a $400K home, we tell you if you can afford that and 5 pets,
daycare, a car loan, and a life you actually enjoy.
✅ Real Results
- A Seattle client avoided a $37,000 mistake by choosing Austin after we revealed hidden
transit costs
- A Vegas nurse realized she’d be spending 48% of her net income on housing—before
closing on a home
- A remote worker cut relocation anxiety by 90% after seeing a 3-year break-even forecast
across two cities
✅ Affordable Clarity. Lifelong ROI.
Most reports cost less than a single rent check—but can prevent years of regret.
Whether you’re moving solo, relocating a family, or comparing offers, we’ll build a report
that matches your exact situation.
✅ If You’re Wondering…
- “Can I really afford to move?”
- “Will I be house poor?”
- “Should I take this job in another state?”
- “What if I lose one income later?”
That’s when to use City Shift.

Risk-free. Backed by people who’ve lived it.
Good Question: “Can’t I just Google this?”
You could—but you’ll miss the full picture. Our reports pull from verified housing,
insurance, transit, and tax sources—all in one place, tailored to your income, goals, and
timeline. Skip the guesswork.
