Record-high home prices do not necessarily indicate a housing<\/a> bubble, and while real estate<\/a> in some areas of the U.S. is seeing rapid appreciation, those markets are also showing signs of stability. Realtor<\/a>.com\u00ae’s research team sought to identify metros where home prices are soaring but a housing bubble is most likely not a threat.<\/p>\n “These are\u00a0the Goldilocks of today’s housing market,” says\u00a0Javier Vivas,\u00a0manager of economic research for realtor.com\u00ae. “Not too hot and not too cold, these markets present the right balance of housing and economic conditions for buying and selling activity to evolve naturally.” No market is immune to a housing bubble, but realtor.com\u00ae researchers note these cities have strong, diversified industries that are supporting their rising price appreciation.<\/p>\n Realtor.com\u00ae’s research team compared 150 of the largest housing markets where price appreciation was between 4 percent and 13 percent in 2016; the supply of homes for sale<\/a> was ample (between three and seven months); affordability remains strong; the median number of days on the market is low; the new-home market has recovered since the recession; and more.<\/p>\n Realtor.com\u00ae named the following eight housing markets as the most stable in the country:<\/p>\n Source: \u201cAfraid of a Bubble?
