It was followed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/5155\/CO\/Denver\">Denver<\/a> (66.7%), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/17151\/CA\/San-Francisco\">San Francisco<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/17420\/CA\/San-Jose\">San Jose<\/a> (65.8%) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/16163\/WA\/Seattle\">Seattle<\/a> (60.9%). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/16409\/CA\/Sacramento\">Sacramento<\/a>\u2014the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/october-2020-housing-migration-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">popular<\/a> destination for people looking to move to a different metro area\u2014rounded out the top five, at 60.0%.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/justinhess\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Justin Hess<\/a>, a Redfin real estate agent in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/5155\/CO\/Denver\">Denver<\/a> area, recently received 22 offers for a three-bedroom single-family home he listed in Thornton, CO, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/5155\/CO\/Denver\">Denver<\/a> suburb. The winning bidder ended up paying $35,000 over the $410,000 asking price and waiving their appraisal contingency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSingle-family homes that are priced right, in good condition and in a desirable neighborhood are still selling quickly for top dollar,\u201d Hess said. \u201cIf you\u2019re a buyer, you had better bring your best punch and expect competition. People are paying a premium for the latest and greatest, updated, remodeled, turnkey homes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of the places with the highest bidding-war rates have also seen significant growth in new listings\u2014one factor that\u2019s allowing competition to flourish, according to Redfin Chief Economist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/author\/darylfairweather\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Daryl Fairweather<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuyers aren\u2019t going to compete for homes that have been sitting on the market,\u201d Fairweather said. \u201cThey will typically only get into a bidding war for a newly-listed, desirable home that is move-in ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/16904\/CA\/San-Diego\">San Diego<\/a>, for example, new listings were up 13% year over year in November, outpacing 5% growth in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/10943\/MN\/Minneapolis\">Minneapolis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/10943\/MN\/Minneapolis\">Minneapolis<\/a> had a lower rate of competition than any other metro area in this analysis, with 34.6% of Redfin offers facing bidding wars in November. Also in the bottom five were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/29470\/IL\/Chicago\">Chicago<\/a> (36.4%), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/18142\/FL\/Tampa\">Tampa, FL<\/a> (37.1%), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/8903\/TX\/Houston\">Houston<\/a> (37.3%) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30749\/NY\/New-York\">New York<\/a> (37.6%).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s been a noticeable slowdown over the last couple of weeks, possibly due to the rise in coronavirus cases, Thanksgiving and cold weather\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/10943\/MN\/Minneapolis\">Minneapolis<\/a> Redfin agent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/james-garry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">James Garry<\/a>. \u201cMove-in ready homes that are in the first-time homebuyer range of up to $350,000 are still getting into bidding wars, but we\u2019re starting to see other listings get stale. Buyers are beginning to make contingent offers that sellers are actually entertaining, which has been unheard of over the last year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A recent Redfin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/coronavirus-real-estate-market-impact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">analysis<\/a> found that new listings and pending sales are growing at a slower rate in U.S. counties with more coronavirus cases per capita.<\/p>\n<h3>Condos Were the Least Likely to Face Bidding Wars<\/h3>\n<p>Condos were the least likely to encounter competition in November, with 38.3% of Redfin offers facing bidding wars. That compares with 48.7% of offers for townhouses and 57.3% of offers for single-family homes.<\/p>\n<p>The condo market has experienced relatively <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/condo-real-estate-prices-increase-august\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sluggish<\/a> growth as remote work and a shift in homebuyer preferences due to the pandemic have made single-family homes more sought after.<\/p>\n<h3>Bidding-War Rates By Metro Area, November 2020 and October 2020<\/h3>\n<p><i>To be included in this analysis,
