The site factored in each city’s peak prerecession home prices and their lowest levels during the downturn. Additionally, researchers measured each metro’s recovery according to the amount of new-home construction in each area, foreclosures<\/a>, unemployment rates, and the household income of its residents in 2016.<\/p>\n Realtor.com\u00ae found that the cities with the greatest recoveries tended to have colleges, research centers, a diversified economy, and an educated workforce that helped attract new businesses.
