Like all else in real estate, location matters when it comes to “recovery.” Realtor.com put together a “recovery index” to get a handle on how, which and where recovering markets are doing and have come up with a list for both Most and Least recovering Housing Markets.
Realtor.com the number 100 as a pre-pandemic baseline number – markets earning scores of more than 100 were considered to be “recovering markets” and markets earning scores of less than 100 were considered to be lagging behind pre-pandemic levels. Realtor.com used the following metrics that, when combined, earned each housing market its “recovering” score:
- Growth in online search activity
- Number of new listings
- Asking prices
- Time on the market
Clearly, record-low interest rates are driving sales and record-low inventory is defining the market as a seller’s market. States in the Northeast and West are showing the most “recovery” while the South and Midwest are dealing with an uptick in COVID cases, pandemic restrictions and re-closings, and economic uncertainty.
