At Realtor.com, they identify the country’s hottest metropolitan markets for real estate—those homes that attract the most listing views and spend the fewest days on market (DOM) as buyers put in offers to buy them up quickly.
Home prices have marched steadily upward, mostly due to the fact that there is a historic shortage of homes for sale. The above photo shows how cities in California did in the Top 20 in the US.
