Analysts at Zillow have made their predictions for the hottest housing markets of 2022, and we are bringing you a look at the most expensive homes in the top five cities listed.
On Tuesday, the Seattle-based company predicted Tampa, Florida, will be the hottest housing market of 2022. NFL Quarterback Tom Brady’s new city is followed by Jacksonville, Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina; San Antonio, Texas; and Charlotte, North Carolina.
“Homebuyers are attracted to markets in the Sun Belt that offer relative affordability, fast-growing economies, and weather that allows them to enjoy the outdoors year-round,” Zillow economist Alexandra Lee said in a statement.
Lee also predicts the seller’s market seen in 2021 will continue and buyers should be ready for strong competition for homes, which means bidding wars and homes flying off the market only days after they are listed.
With that warning from Lee, here is a sneak peek at the most expensive homes available in the top five hottest housing markets for 2022, as predicted by Zillow analysts.
