Map of Property Value Trends? (2014, sales, realty, housing)

[Jowel]

Not too long ago, I remember seeing an article that linked a website that had a map showing what percentages property values have risen or fallen recently. I think it was at least as detailed as showing the percentage + or - by zip code or may have even gotten to a smaller geographic level than zip codes. It was nice because it showed small towns and rural areas rather than just what was happening with housing prices in areas like NY, LA, DC, etc. that would have little relation to what may be happening in small cities and sparsely populated areas.

I can't remember if it was linked here or somewhere else but I regretfully didn't bookmark it. Does anyone know what I'm thinking of or have any suggestions? I know it wasn't Zillow since as far as I know that just shows sales values which can be skewed pretty far in one direction. I am trying to get an idea of what direction property values have been heading in certain areas.

As my info. says, I'm in North Carolina. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Hi Jowel,

I saw your other thread in "About The Forum" and decided to see if I could help you out. In all honesty, I haven't seen what you are looking for recently, so I have to go with where I've seen this type of data before when researching real estate trends.

The sites that I like and use are not available in every state, nor do I typically use one site only. I do use Zillow and it probably has what you are stating because I get daily emails informing me that individual homes that I am following have either increased, decreased or stayed the same in value.

I also love Redfin (my favorite), Trulia, HomeSnap, and on occasion Realtor.com and RealtyTrac. What I will say is this regarding real estate. There was a huge change in home prices rising in 2013 which occurred in most areas of the country as investors came back into the market buying up quite a bit of inventory for rentals or sometimes rehab/flips. I haven't noticed the huge gains of last year, but prices appear to be up some or at least holding steady in 2014.

I am not following North Carolina, but I assume that your prices went up last year also based on trends I've seen. Good luck! I also would be interested in the map that you mentioned .

Best regards,

I believe that City Data actually has some pretty detailed specifics on certain zip codes, I am not sure that this is what you are looking for though.
