7 'Boomtowns' Set to Decline by 2025

During the pandemic, while many areas faced a downturn, certain cities experienced a significant boom. These "boomtowns" attracted remote workers seeking more affordable living, which led to a surge in housing prices.

However, experts now predict that home values in some of these cities will significantly decline by the end of 2025.

1. Austin, TX

Austin saw a population surge due to its lively arts scene and thriving tech industry. The current median home price is about $549,733. However, with tech industry slowdowns, Austin's housing market has cooled, resulting in nearly a 10% decrease in median price per square foot since the pandemic's peak.

2. Tampa, FL

Tampa's Gulf Coast allure made it a pandemic hotspot. The median home price stands at approximately $419,000. Rapid growth brought challenges like rising property taxes and insurance, which have cooled the market, increasing the average days on the market from 29 to 51.

3. Raleigh, NC

Raleigh, known for its tech and educational sectors, saw a median home price rise to around $449,990. The pandemic pushed the days on the market down to 11, but this number has since increased to 42 as the market stabilizes.

4. Denver, CO

Denver, located at the base of the Rocky Mountains, experienced a real estate boom with a current median home price of about $619,900. The market has adjusted, with the median sale price dropping from 8% above the list price to 2.5% below.

5. Nashville, TN

Nashville, famous for its vibrant music scene, now has a median home price of around $558,990. The city's demand ranking has significantly dropped since the pandemic peak, indicating a cooling market despite stable prices.

6. Salt Lake City, UT

Salt Lake City offers a mix of urban and outdoor living, attracting many during the pandemic. The median home price is approximately $579,999. However, days on the market have increased from eight to 44, showing a return to a slower pace.

7. Boise, ID

Boise became a pandemic refuge for many, with a current median home price of about $580,000. Similar to Austin, Boise has seen a significant correction, with prices now almost 7% below their pandemic peak.

As we look ahead, the real estate markets in these cities are recalibrating. The frenzied activity and soaring prices of the pandemic era are giving way to more balanced, stable growth. If you're considering buying or selling in these areas, it’s essential to stay informed about these trends.

Keeping Up with ATX local and Real Estate Broker George Vance McGee....

So GVM, how are you feeling these days? What is the married, family man, new dad lifestyle? Thanks for asking. Believe it or not, despite my youthful glow and aura, I'm now "over the hill" at 42 years of age. Physically I still feel pretty darn good. I try to cycle often on the hike and bike trail of lady bird lake. I've even bought a bicycle rack for my 2010 Nissan Rogue SUV. As a Real Estate Industry person, I apologize if my lack of a Range Rover or Mercedes Benz car ownership doesn't suffice. In regards to health, being a newborn dad will really sober you up. Coffee has long since replaced booze in my blood system.
