Rife's decision to move away from expensive markets like LA to more affordable areas, along with his continued success in the comedy industry, could indicate a trend in real estate where high-profile entertainers show interest in affordable suburban living. This trend may not only reflect personal preferences but also create a shift in demand towards suburban real estate, potentially resulting in price increases in those markets.
