Realtor.com® identified the 20 hottest medium- to large-size housing markets for March.

“Listings are growing as they normally do this time of the year, but because demand has been growing faster than supply, homes are selling faster,” says Jonathan Smoke, chief economist of realtor.com. “So the monthly trend is the normal seasonal pattern, but the year-over-year decline is reflective of demand being stronger than supply for more than a year, which is resulting in fewer homes available and faster-moving inventory.”
This ranking shows the 20 markets where listings are getting two to five times more views than the national average and homes are selling one to two months faster than in the rest of the country:
