It’s no secret that the national real estate market experienced a bit of a cooldown in 2022. According to a report from the NAR, sales slowed from 6.1 million in 2021 to 4.43 million in 2022. The report also looked at some of the hottest real estate markets in 2023.
Because much of the national market has slowed, that does not mean there are no markets to watch. This two-part post will look at the hottest markets for 2023.
The Hottest Real Estate Markets in 2023
Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, Georgia
The Atlanta metro area has potential for several reasons. Housing prices are affordable for a major city, with median prices at $400,000 in November 2022. The job market is also strong, with the area seeing 5.4% growth in 2022. Atlanta is also home to offices for several large corporations. It is one of several factors causing people to migrate to Atlanta from all over the US.
Raleigh, North Carolina
