What this map shows
Which city has the fastest-rising home prices right now?
Chicago leads on typical home value at +0.78% (+$2,587), and Seattle sits at the other end at −0.12% (−$919). 7 of 10 tracked metros rose and 3 fell. A single month is direction, not a trend: the same metro topping this list two or three months running is what separates a move from noise. Open the Chicago housing market to see the ZIP codes behind it.
Are U.S. home prices rising or falling this month?
Across the 10 metros tracked here, 7 recorded a higher typical home value than the month before and 3 recorded a lower one, spanning +0.78% to −0.12%. That split says more than the national average it would roll up into, because nobody buys a national average — compare the two ends directly in the Seattle housing market.
Why are these metros and not cities?
Housing data is published for metro areas, and a metro is what people actually move between — someone leaving Dallas for Houston is not comparing two city halls. So "Dallas" here means the Dallas–Fort Worth metro, and the underlying figures come from its ZIP codes, which are ranked individually in home prices by ZIP code.
How often does this update?
Once a month, with the same published snapshot the rest of the site uses — currently 2026-09. It is not a live feed: housing data is published monthly, and a map implying minute-by-minute movement would invent precision the source does not have. The rules behind each measure are in the HomeMarketCap.com methodology.
Each row is a metro area rather than a city boundary: “Dallas” means the Dallas–Fort Worth metro, which is the level housing data is published at and the level people actually move between. Typical home value and rent are the median across a metro’s tracked ZIP codes; homes for sale is the metro total. Figures come from the same monthly snapshot as the rest of the site (2026-09) and are defined in the HomeMarketCap.com methodology.
