Story summary
  • Realtor.com analysis identifies ten U.S. cities, mainly in the South and Northeast, where home values rose notably since the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Knoxville, Tennessee, recorded the largest gain at nearly 86%, while Fayetteville, Arkansas, rose 84.5%.
  • This contrasts with Zillow's finding that over half of U.S. homes lost value in the past year, though most homeowners retain significant equity, suggesting market normalization rather than a crash.
