National Mortgage News reports that Idaho’s Boise-Nampa area ranked highest in the U.S. for year-over-year housing price increases, at a rate of 13.6%.
Homes in the Boise metro appreciated 13.6% over a year ago, the report says. The national average: 5%.
And it's not just Boise. It's all of Idaho. The Gem State was the top state, with an 11.4% housing price increase from a year ago, the agency said in a news release.
The Boise area left other metros in the dust. Grand Rapids, Mich., was in second place with a 9% increase, followed closely by San Antonio, Austin and Colorado Springs.
