Hartford Could Be the U.S.'s Hottest House Market This Year -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-08

1054 ET - Competition for houses is set to be fiercest in Hartford this year, beating back-to-back leader Buffalo, Zillow says. Common among the Northeast and coastal California metros at the top of the list are few options for buyers to choose from. That spurred fast sales and home price growth in 2025 and should keep home values rising fast in 2026. Home values grew faster in Hartford than in any other major metro last year, up 4.6%. Hartford is forecast to lead price growth yet again this year, though at a slightly more relaxed pace of 3.9% annually. Third on the list is the New York metro area, which includes parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Contributing to its high ranking in 2026 are a positive home price forecast, strong employment, and the lowest share of listings with a price cut among major metros at just 13.5%.
