Redfin Revisits Predictions for Hottest Neighborhoods of 2014"},"content":{"rendered":"

Back in January, we predicted 10 neighborhoods<\/a> across the country that would be the hottest this year, based on website activity of our millions of unique visitors. Today, we\u2019re checking in to see how hot, or not, those places are turning out to be. We\u2019re also going to clue you in on 10 additional neighborhoods that are starting to heat up now.<\/p>\n

To see how our January predictions fared, we looked across several housing metrics and compared them with last year. Those metrics included median sale price, price per square foot, how many homes sold, how fast they sold and the percentage of homes that sold above list price. Out of the 10 neighborhoods we predicted would be hot in 2014, eight have solidly outperformed their metro areas so far. Phinney Ridge in Seattle performed just slightly better than Seattle as a whole, and Desert Shores in Las Vegas has been comparatively cool so far this year.
\n\"Hottest-neighborhoods-2-2013-07-29-1200x1200\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The hottest of the hot were Portland\u2019s Concordia, where more than half of homes sold for more than their list price, and Chicago\u2019s Humboldt Park, where the median sale price is up 62 percent since last year.<\/p>\n

Oops! We Missed<\/h3>\n

As we said, not all our predictions came true. In Seattle\u2019s Phinney Ridge, the median sale price is down 3 percent since last year and fewer homes are selling above list price.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhinney Ridge is a desirable area where homes still receive multiple offers,\u201d said Seattle Redfin agent<\/a> Robin McCue. \u201cBut competition has been less intense as homebuyers began to expand their search to more affordable areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another miss was in Desert Shores, Las Vegas. The median sale price rose less than the rest of Vegas, and far fewer homes are selling for more than list price.<\/p>\n

\u201cDesert Shores is facing a lot of fresh competition, especially from neighborhoods with newer homes,\u201d said Las Vegas Redfin agent<\/a> Ed Smith, \u201cNow that price increases are not as extreme, buyers have more options that they can afford.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Couple of Surprises<\/h3>\n

Some neighborhoods that weren\u2019t on our list in January have also been very hot so far this year. One of those is University Hills<\/a> in Austin, where 60 percent more homes sold this June than last June, prices were up nearly 50 percent, and homes spent half as long on the market as they did last year, at 19 days. Austin Redfin agent<\/a> Andrew Vallejo said the area\u2019s growing popularity is largely because it is so close to central Austin.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of homebuyers are looking for that close proximity to the city, so this area is a great place to be if you want an easy commute,\u201d Vallejo said. \u201cAffordability is certainly a factor in this neighborhood growing in popularity; this area is desirable for anyone who might not want to pay the rising cost of living in the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Denver\u2019s Bear Valley<\/a>, the median sale price has increased by 23 percent since last year, and homes are spending 18 days on the market on average, compared with 39 last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cBear Valley is a popular alternative for folks who have grown tired of the ultra-competitive neighborhoods like Highland<\/a>, Berkeley<\/a>, Sunnyside<\/a>, Baker<\/a> and Park Hill<\/a> in Central and West Denver, and Green Mountain in Lakewood<\/a>,\u201d said Denver Redfin agent<\/a> Greg Goldstein. \u201cWith the Bear Creek Trail running through it, Bear Valley offers the great Colorado outdoor lifestyle, while 285 connects you to the mountains and metropolitan areas in a matter of minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

10 New Spots Heating Up<\/h3>\n

Of course, what everyone really wants to know is what markets are just starting to heat up now. Again, we\u2019re basing our predictions on Redfin.com website activity.<\/p>\n

Our data and our agents agree that, for the most part, the neighborhoods where we will see the most warming throughout the rest of the year have one major thing in common: affordability. They’re mostly adjacent to highly sought after neighborhoods that have become difficult to get into because of high prices and few homes for sale.<\/p>\n

Atlanta Redfin agent<\/a> Will Fassinger:<\/strong> \u201cInman Park has long been known for its incredible historic homes, both large and small. The historic structures, combined with new, very desirable attractions, such as The Beltline and Krog Street Market, are drawing more and more people to the neighborhood, securing its status with locals as a favorite area.\u201d<\/td>\n

Austin Redfin agent<\/a> Andrew Vallejo <\/strong> “MLK-183 is really the place to be right now. We are seeing a lot more homes that have recently been remodeled, and that is something we weren\u2019t seeing last year. It is also incredibly easy to get from MLK-183 to center city within a matter of minutes, and new public transportation hubs are becoming a big draw for the area.”<\/td>\n

Baltimore Redfin agent<\/a> Timothy Maller:<\/strong> \u201cRoland Park is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Baltimore city. It is known for its stately, historic homes and its good public schools, as well as its proximity to many premier private schools. Roland Park has a suburban feel in the city. The majority of the housing stock consists of detached homes with yards, a rarity in a city known for its rowhomes.\u201d<\/td>\n

Boston Redfin agent<\/a> Kathryn Gustafson:<\/strong> \u201cEgleston Square is just on the other side of the T tracks from Centre Street, the main drag through Jamaica Plain, a very popular neighborhood in Boston. Centre Street is full of local restaurants, bars, shops and coffee houses and runs parallel to three orange line T stops, making all these amenities very accessible by public transit. Egleston Square is not yet as developed as the heart of Jamaica Plain, but because of its close proximity to Centre Street and the T, homes are selling over asking price and buyers should be prepared for competition.\u201d<\/td>\n

\nMedian List Price:<\/strong> $288,950<\/p>\n

Charlotte Redfin agent<\/a> Marcy Prentiss:<\/strong> \u201cAffordability is a big reason Sedgefield is becoming such a hot area right now. The homes on the market don\u2019t cost as much as homes in other neighborhoods such as Dilworth and Myers Park, making it an appealing location for homebuyers. And while the houses in the area are smaller, they are on beautiful lots with plenty of mature trees.\u201d<\/td>\n

Chicago Redfin agent<\/a> Ali Donoghue:<\/strong> \u201cPilsen has experienced a lot of commercial revitalization. Thalia Hall, which dates from the 1890s, was restored in 2013 as multi-use space that includes a restaurant, bar and concert venue. The 2nd Fridays Gallery Night along the Chicago Arts District is always popular, as is the Sunday farmers market. Add in easy access to the Pink line, the Metra, the Stevenson and the Dan Ryan and you have a still-affordable neighborhood with great transit options, in close proximity to the loop.\u201d<\/td>\n

Dallas Redfin agent<\/a> Bob Plessinger:<\/strong> \u201cLittle Forest Hills stands out from other Dallas neighborhoods because of the variety and diversity of homes in the area; you\u2019ll find a lot of homes with fun and funky architecture that you don\u2019t see anywhere else. There are a lot of artists who live there, and the residents seem to appreciate everyone\u2019s individuality.

Denver Redfin agent<\/a> Ilona Botton: <\/strong>“Many of the homebuyers who are searching and buying homes in Cole today started off their search in City Park or City Park West, which have a similar appeal and vibe, but extremely low inventory. Cole is one of the few places left in Denver where you can find a home that’s a bit more affordable than other neighborhoods where prices have been driven up significantly over the past few years. Thanks to the expansion of the light rail in Five Points, all of the areas in and around Cole have become more accessible for commuters.”<\/td>\n

Fort Worth Redfin agent<\/a> Roddy de la Garza:<\/strong> \u201cFossil Creek is a popular community that was fueled and continues to be sustained by volume homebuilders in the North Texas area. The appeal is the North Central location that feeds off the growth of Saginaw and North Richland Hills. The schools are highly rated and the price point falls within FHA loan limits.\u201d<\/td>\n

Houston Redfin agent<\/a> Tara Waggoner:<\/strong> “Just a short 10-minute drive to the Galleria, the Braesmont neighborhood, near the ever popular city of Bellaire, is also home to some of Houston\u2019s highly ranked elementary, middle and high schools. It\u2019s a primo location if you\u2019re a fan of the Texans and near the medical center. New homebuilders have also found this to be a desirable area. Many people are tearing down older properties and replacing them with million-dollar homes.\u201d<\/td>\n

Las Vegas Redfin agent<\/a> Ed Smith:<\/strong> \u201cWith street names like Arnold Palmer Way and Ben Hogan Drive, it\u2019s easy to identify the Painted Desert neighborhood as a golfer\u2019s oasis. But this subdivision near Centennial Hills is also gaining in popularity because of its close proximity to major highways, highly ranked schools, shopping and medical centers. The community boasts a collection of homes ranging from high-end sprawling estates with gorgeous golf course views to convenient townhomes with all the amenities needed to live an easy carefree lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Redfin agent<\/a> Jenn Harrison: <\/strong>\u201cCheviot Hills is heating up because the surrounding neighborhoods that were once considered to be a good deal, like Mar Vista and Culver City, are no longer as affordable as they once were. Now that homes in these neighborhoods are just as pricey as the tony Cheviot Hills, folks would just as soon live there.\u201d<\/td>\n

At the same time they are able to enjoy the O.C. lifestyle of highly rated schools, entertainment and ambiance.
