We have two different sources telling us their choices of the hottest housing markets for the next five years, the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) and realtor.com.
Let’s begin with agreed upon reasons these cities are expected to outperform from now – 2025:
- These cities have sufficient inventories of affordable entry-level price points for new and existing residents.
- The median closing price in most of these cities combined is below the national median price of $258,000 while the median asking price in most of these cities combined is $292,000.
- Most all of these cities are driven by strong economies, consistent job growth, and available inventories of for-sale properties.
- Net in-migration, particularly from coastal cities, is expected to continue over the next five years.
- Housing price gains, +4.3% y/y, in most of these cities are outpacing similar sized markets.
- Many of these cities appeal to retirees.
- Many of these cities have evenly balanced age structures among their resident populations.
