Housing experts predict U.S. home value growth around 3.5 percent this year. But which markets are leading the charge?
To determine the hottest real estate markets for 2016, we looked at the Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) Forecast, recent income growth and current unemployment rates. These variables were scaled and combined equally to form a “hotness score.”
Here’s a look at the top 10 metros:
No. 1: Denver
The ZHVI is expected to increase 5 percent year-over-year in the Denver metro, where the unemployment rate is a low 3.1 percent. Neighborhoods in Aurora, CO - Delmar Parkway, Highline Villages and Centretech - are the hottest. Denver’s Ruby Hill is also among the metro’s hottest ‘hoods.
