10 Fastest Appreciating Housing Markets in the US

Veros recently released it’s third quarter VeroFORECAST, which predicts property value trends in metropolitan statistical areas (MSA) across the US between September 2018 and September 2019.

According to the report, the top 100 most populated MSAs will appreciate 4.5% over the next 12 months. Of all MSAs, Vero predicts that 97% will appreciate and 3% will depreciate. The VP of Statistical and Economic Modeling at Veros, Eric Fox, said “This is the 25^th quarter in a row where this index has forecasted overall appreciation.”

VeroFORECAST predicts that seven MSAs will experience depreciation over the next 12-months:

• Torrington, Connecticut: -0.2%
• Texarkana, Texas-Texarkana, Arkansas: -0.2%
• Ocean City, New Jersey: -0.4%
• Peoria, Illinois: -0.7%
• Danville, Illinois: -1.2%
• Vineland-Millvilee-Bridgeton, New Jersey: -1.6%
• Farmington, New Mexico: -2.2%

Now, that doesn’t mean that you should invest in these markets, because when we follow the Three Immutable Laws of Real Estate Investing, we don’t take appreciation into account. It is just a bonus. However, if you want to increase your chances of receiving this appreciation bonus, you should consider looking into these 10 markets that are predicted to experience the most appreciation in the next 12 months.
