14 Cities Where the Population and Home Prices Are Booming

Population increases often lead to an increase in home prices, as increase in demand and lack of supply can drive prices up. To find the places where a boom in population has also led to an increase in home prices, Zoocasa focused on places with a population of 100,000 or more where the population changed by more than 0.5%, either increasing or decreasing between July 2022 and July 2023. Zoocasa then compared median home prices from 2022 to 2024 to calculate the percentage difference in home prices in relation to these population shifts.

The following cities all experienced population growth from 2022 to 2023, and home price increases of at least 10% from 2022 to 2024. Cities are sorted by percent increase in home price.
