That makes these the four metros primed for growth over the next decade.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spokane, Washington<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/new-home-construction-q4-2019\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sales of new homes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> increased 37% in Spokane from Q4 of 2018 to Q4 of 2019 compared to only 5% growth in existing homes. The city is currently the most competitive <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/us-housing-market\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">housing market<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the country <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/17154\/WA\/Spokane\/housing-market\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with a Compete Score\u2122 of 89<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That\u2019s in part thanks to significant homebuyer interest from out-of-towners\u201473% of Redfin searches for homes in Spokane come from homebuyers located outside the metro.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conveniently, Spokane is well suited to absorb all of the potential new migrants. That\u2019s because in Spokane land is cheap and therefore homebuilding is inexpensive. The cost of acquiring land to develop on is a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/value-of-house-vs-land\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">major reason housing supply has lagged behind demand<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in big expensive cities. In <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/16163\/WA\/Seattle\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seattle<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, land comprises 42% of the value of the homes, but in Spokane, land comprises only 23% of the value of homes, making it harder for homebuilders to turn a profit on land in Seattle than in Spokane. Seattlites, who are used to a median home price of $570,000, will find Spokane homes extremely affordable, regardless of whether they are buying an existing home with a median price of $255,000 or a new home with a median price of $350,000.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTons of people are moving in from the coasts because Spokane is more affordable and less crowded,\u201d said<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/michelle-kendrick\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Redfin market manager Michelle Kendrick<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cSpokane has all of the basics you would want in a city, but at a great price. It feels like we are in a construction boom. A lot of the new construction is happening on the outskirts of the city, which contributes to our version of traffic. To people from out of town the traffic is nothing, but if you have lived here a long time you do notice it. Job growth has also been a draw for out-of-towners. We have a new Amazon distribution center, the airport is expanding, and the medical industry is big and growing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Las Vegas, Nevada<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Las Vegas, home sales are growing at the rapid pace of 15.7%, with 47% of homebuyer interest coming from outside the metro. The primary source of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/q4-2019-housing-migration-report\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">out-of-town homebuyers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/11203\/CA\/Los-Angeles\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los Angeles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where the median home price is $650,000 and land comprises about 61% of home values. In Las Vegas, homebuyers can purchase an existing home for $285,000 or a new home for $388,000. With land comprising only 25% of home values in Las Vegas, new construction is a profitable investment for developers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLas Vegas is a pretty competitive market, and I see both new homes and existing homes receiving multiple offers,\u201d said <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/carol-vandenberg\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin agent Carol Vandenberg<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cI see plenty of buyers from Los Angeles. They are used to the sunshine and the two cities are so connected.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charlotte, North Carolina<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Charlotte, home sales are growing at an annual pace of 14.5%. With 40% of search activity coming from outside of the metro, Charlotte\u2014where household incomes are growing 5% annually and jobs grew 2.9% in 2019, well above the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/graph\/?g=nm67\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">national rate of 1.4%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014will continue to attract job seekers. Charlotte is well positioned to absorb growth given that land comprises only 28% of home values on average in the metro. Notably, Charlotte is home to one of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/hottest-neighborhoods-2020\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2019\u2019s hottest neighborhoods in the country<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/neighborhood\/127513\/NC\/Charlotte\/Wildwood\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wildwood<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), and that neighborhood has a new housing development under construction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orlando, Florida<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jobs, median household income, home sales, and home prices have all been growing in Orlando. Inexpensive land\u2014it comprises only 29% of home values\u2014has also meant growth in new homes sales for the city. Sales of new homes increased 21% in Orlando from Q4 of 2018 to Q4 of 2019 compared to only 5% growth in existing homes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-23\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-23\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Metro<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Average Land Share of Home Value<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Median Sale Price Growth<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">Homes Sales Growth\u00a0<\/th><th class=\"column-5\">Median Household Income Growth\u00a0<\/th><th class=\"column-6\">Job Growth\u00a0<\/th><th class=\"column-7\">Percent of Searches from Outside the Metro<\/th><th class=\"column-8\">Median Sale Price - New Construction<\/th><th class=\"column-9\">Median Sale Price - Existing<\/th><th class=\"column-10\">City Compete Score\u2122\u00a0<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Spokane, WA<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0.23<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0.142<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0.055<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">0.047<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">0.017<\/td><td class=\"column-7\">0.73<\/td><td class=\"column-8\">350000<\/td><td class=\"column-9\">255000<\/td><td class=\"column-10\">85<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Las Vegas, NV<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0.25<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0.065<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0.157<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">0.035<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">0.024<\/td><td class=\"column-7\">0.47<\/td><td class=\"column-8\">388000<\/td><td class=\"column-9\">285000<\/td><td class=\"column-10\">60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Charlotte, NC<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0.28<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0.091<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0.145<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">0.051<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">0.029<\/td><td class=\"column-7\">0.4<\/td><td class=\"column-8\">325000<\/td><td class=\"column-9\">248000<\/td><td class=\"column-10\">66<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Orlando, FL<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0.29<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0.07<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0.147<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">0.054<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">0.032<\/td><td class=\"column-7\">0.51<\/td><td class=\"column-8\">316000<\/td><td class=\"column-9\">250000<\/td><td class=\"column-10\">75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-23 from cache -->\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Methodology<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The top four U.S. booming real estate markets were selected based on the criteria that average share of land value be less than 30%, home price growth be more than 4%, home sales growth be greater than 4%, and percent of searches from outside the metro be at least 40%.
