Six years after the 2007 housing market crisis, more than one hundred U.S. cities are experiencing strong market comebacks. According to a recent report published by the National Association of Home Builders/First American Improving Markets Index (IMI), 101 metropolitan areas showed steady improvement in housing permits, employment and home prices for six consecutive months.
The 101 markets on the April IMI represent a net gain of two from March, with 13 new metros on the list. Texas and Florida dominated the IMI this month with 12 and 9 metros represented, respectively. The IMI diversity continued to expand this month, including newcomers such as Greenville, N.C. and St. George, Utah.
