Methodology: For this piece, GOBankingRates looked at the 200 largest Metro Statistical Areas (MSA) by real estate market and found the following ten factors. For each MSA GOBankingRates found: 1) percentage change in home value over one year; 2) change in home value in USD over one year; 3) percentage change in home value over two years; 4) change in home value in USD over two years; 5) inventory for sale; 6) average days from listing to pending; 7) average list-to-sales ratio; 8) average days from pending to closing; 9) share listings with a price reduction; and 10) average price reduction. All data comes from Zillow's June 2024 data. Then, all ten factors were scored and combined, with the highest score being the worst housing markets. In the final calculations, factors 1), 2), 9) and 10) were weighted 2x and factor 5) 0.5x. All data has been collected and is current as of September 26, 2024.
