Key Takeaways
- The five states with the fastest-growing prices were all in the Northeast, apart from Wyoming.
- Mississippi was the only state to see a drop in home prices from 2023 to 2024.

U.S. housing prices rose 4.5% from the fourth quarter of 2023 to the fourth quarter of 2024. But which states were booming, and which ones were cooling?
This Markets in a Minute graphic, in partnership with Terzo, highlights how housing prices have shifted in each state over the last year.

The highest housing market growth was primarily in Northeastern states like Connecticut, New Jersey, and Vermont. These states have inventory far below pre-pandemic levels, and higher incomes that are better able to support higher home costs.
Outside the Northeast, Wyoming is the only state to make the top five fastest-growing housing markets. The state faces low housing supply driven by a growing population and a low supply of affordable housing. Areas around Yellowstone National Park are particularly desirable with some properties seeing multi-million dollar price tags.
At the other end of the scale, the only housing market to see a drop in home prices was Mississippi. The population was flat from 2023 to 2024, and the state has seen an increase in housing inventory.
A Resilient Market
Despite elevated interest rates driving up mortgage costs, the housing market has been resilient. Most states saw home prices rise faster than real GDP growth (2.5%) and inflation (2.9%).
