5 Cities in Every State To Buy a Home If You Want It To Gain Value

The American housing market can be difficult. Home sales are currently on the upswing, but home affordability is still a challenge for many.

To purchase a home in today’s market, it helps to treat the home as an investment; like any investor, you want your investment to gain in value. One way to guarantee your new home will appreciate in value is to purchase in an area where home values are steadily on the rise.

To that end, GOBankingRates recently undertook a study to locate the five cities in every state where homes are increasing in value. To do so, GOBankingRates looked at the 7,500 biggest housing markets in America that had significant one-year and five-year increases in home values above the national average. With few exceptions (Alaska, Hawaii, Louisiana and North Dakota), GOBankingRates was able to locate the five cities in every state with the greatest one-year and five-year increases.

Knowing where to buy a home is as crucial as the quality of the home itself. If you’re hoping to invest in a property whose value will increase over time, these cities offer you the most reliable returns on your real estate investment.

Methodology: GOBankingRates looked at the 7,500 largest housing markets in America, according to Zillow, that also had a 1-year and 5-year percent change in home value above the national average. GOBankingRates then looked at these factors across every state. The 1-year and 5-year percent changes in home values were scored. The places had to have an October 2020 home value above $100,000. Alaska, Hawaii and North Dakota had their city size limit expanded but still were not able to have 5 cities. Louisiana had no cities that qualified. Zillow’s October 2025 data was collected Nov. 17, 2025.
