1036 ET - Colorado Springs tops Realtor.com's Top Housing Markets list for 2025. The top ten cities are exclusively in the South and West. These markets are characterized by moderately affordable homes, abundant inventory and a sizable base of younger families, many with military and international connections. The Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach area comes in second, followed by Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, Va.-N.C.; El Paso, Texas; Richmond, Va.; Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, Fla.; McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Texas; Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, Ariz.; Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Alpharetta, Ga.; and Greensboro-High Point, N.C. While these areas generally offer lower home prices than the national average, incomes tend to be lower as well. Housing affordability remains a challenge, with buyers spending about 31.1% of their income on housing--higher than the national average of 29.2%. (chris.wack@wsj.com)
