The National Association of Realtors recently identified 10, of the 379 metro areas in the U.S., that remain undervalued real estate markets.

These “hidden gems,” as the agency calls them, have relatively affordable homes given the market fundamentals and are expected to see stronger price appreciation in 2022 than the rest of the country, which seems poised to slow down.

The Space Coast was placed 6th in the Top 10 Most Undervalued Real Estate Markets in the U.S.

To qualify as a hidden gem, the median home price to median family income ratio must be at the low end of the ranked metro areas, while the market as a whole must be in the top half of metropolitan cities in seven categories: wage growth, job growth, ratio of the change in population to the sum of housing permits, population growth, net domestic migration, percentage of the population ages 25 to 44, and the percentage of households with broadband service.

The Space Coast area has had the second highest pace of wage growth over a 3-year period, at 27.2%. It has the highest share of households with broadband services, at 78.3%, making it attractive place to live in for workers who want to work from home. Its population is relatively older, with the population ages 25-44 years old making up just at 22.2% which is below the US share of 26.7%.
