Ranking methodology

Rankings use the latest monthly metro-level records and sort by homes sold (descending), with median sale price used as a tie-breaker. Data is sourced from Redfin and refreshed on a daily revalidation cycle. For deeper context, open any market detail page from the list.

You can also browse all state-level market pages from the U.S. Housing Market hub.
