Detroit rose six spots this month to No. 4 in Realtor.com’s ranking of the nation’s hottest housing markets, based on buyer activity. It’s the first time Detroit has been in the top five since October 2013.
The rest of the top slots included mainstays such as Vallejo, Calif., which remained first, San Jose, San Francisco, Stockton, Calif., and Kennewick, Wash.
