Although home prices are falling in some major U.S. cities — stretching from Miami to San Francisco — that’s still not the case in much of the country. As of January 2025, typical home values in the United States were up 2.7% from the previous year at $355,328, according to Zillow.
The good news is that price growth has decelerated from the soaring increases seen a couple of years ago, when COVID-19 slowed home construction. The limited supply of homes for sale heightened demand across the country, which in turn drove home prices to record highs.
Even today, a number of cities are still seeing substantial home price gains as the construction industry continues to play catch-up with demand. Research from Construction Coverage found that as the end of 2024, overall U.S. home prices had gained 6.3% from the year prior — much higher than the Zillow estimate. It noted that the price increases aren’t as drastic as they were in the past, but they’re rising at a sustainable rate.
Here is a look at 10 U.S. housing markets where prices are still rising above the national average, based on Zillow data as of Jan. 31, 2025.
