“The demand for housing will recover from falling mortgage rates and rising income,” Yun said in the report. “In addition, housing inventory is expected to rise by around 30% as more sellers begin to list after delaying selling over the past two years. The selected top 10 US markets will experience faster recovery in home sales.”
The top 10 markets, which have the most pent-up housing demand, are expected to outperform others based on several economic indicators, such as the influx of “returning” buyers, lower home price appreciation, more renters able to afford median-priced homes, and stronger job and income growth.
The top markets include:
- Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown, Texas
- Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas
- Dayton-Kettering, Ohio
- Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina
- Harrisburg-Carlisle, Pennsylvania
- Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, Texas
- Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin, Tennessee
- Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Delaware-Maryland
- Portland-South Portland, Maine
- Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Virginia-Maryland-West Virginia
“Metro markets in southern states will likely outperform others due to faster job increases, while markets in the Midwest will experience gains from being in the most affordable region,” Yun said.
