Despite Big Price Gains, Phoenix, Miami, and Detroit Face New Foreclosure Wave
Asking prices rose by 15 percent or more from last year in Phoenix and Miami. However, seven of the 10 metros with the largest increase in asking prices also have a high share of homes in foreclosure, including Phoenix, the Florida metros, and Detroit and its suburbs. These coming foreclosures threaten to reduce or reverse recent price gains in those markets. In contrast, Denver, San Jose, Pittsburgh, Little Rock, Austin and Colorado Springs all had price gains of more than 4 percent with a moderate or low share of homes in foreclosure.
