The Golden State’s housing market is proving to be golden so far heading into the fall buying season. Several Californian cities dominate realtor.com®’s list of the top-performing housing markets in the country, with San Francisco taking the No 1 spot.

Realtor.com® has singled out 20 of the nation’s 300 largest markets, identifying the “hottest markets” in terms of housing supply (measured by days on the market) and demand (measured by listing views on its site).
