Top housing markets
Second-quarter numbers are in. See how your town stacks up.
If you thought the housing boom had to slow down, think again.
Nationally, median home prices gained 9.1 percent in the second quarter versus the same period in 2003, according to a National Association of Realtors (NAR) report.
The median home price was $183,800 in the second quarter, the NAR said. That means half the homes tracked cost more than that, and half cost less. Of the more than 125 markets tracked, a record 49 metro areas had double-digit annual price gains.
Las Vegas home values showed the biggest gains. The median price of an existing single-family home in and around Sin City shot up 52.4 percent.
Not every market is booming.
In 22 metros, including Dallas and Denver, prices inched up less than 3 percent. In 11 metros prices declined.
