Many of the most expensive housing markets are found in desirable coastal areas. These markets often cater to higher-income buyers, have limited activity from large-scale production builders, and face strict geographical and regulatory constraints on new construction. They are also popular for knockdown-rebuild projects, where older homes are replaced with new ones. In these high-cost regions, the value of the land often exceeds that of the buildings on it.
In the Western half of the country, where the housing shortage is widely considered to be more severe, home prices have skyrocketed over the past decade, far surpassing the national average. This sharp rise has paralleled the region’s tech boom, which has significantly boosted income levels and wealth in the area.
