The COVID-19 pandemic created new migration trends, leading many Americans to leave big cities. So-called Zoom towns — named after the pandemic communication platform and symbol of that era — were cities that saw a tremendous growth due to people moving there to work remotely.
A few years post-pandemic, though, have led to some of these previously-booming locations to see their housing prices plummet.
“Nationally, the housing market remains overvalued, with prices exceeding their estimated fundamental value by more than 12% in February,” Matthew Walsh, Moody’s Analytics economist said in a recent report, adding however, that this is the lowest level of overvaluation since the spring of 2021. “House prices decreased in 17 states in February, and from a year ago, the strongest performance has been concentrated in the Midwest, where house prices are relatively more affordable.”
Here are some of the cities where housing prices are decreasing.
