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.
