Tampa, Fla., has been thriving since losing thousands of homes to foreclosure due to the housing crisis. Strong wage and job growth has led to rises in home prices and sales.
According to CNBC, the real-estate analytics company TenX ranked Tampa as the nation’s healthiest housing market, based on factors such as changes to population, incomes, jobs, unemployment rates, and housing inventory and construction.
Other healthy markets include Dallas, Jacksonville, and Columbus, Ohio.
Las Vegas made a surprise appearance at No. 4 on the list. That city served as ground zero for the housing crash, clocking the highest foreclosure rate in the nation. Prices there are still about 20 percent below their peak of the housing boom, but that is only adding to the area's allure.
TenX also rated the nation’s unhealthiest markets, which included San Francisco, Los Angeles, and three different parts of the New York City metro area.
