The trajectory of economic recovery post-recession is uneven across the nation, and this trend has held true in the wake of both the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic. The most substantial increases in home prices have been concentrated in Mountain West states and select states in New England. Since 2016, Idaho and New Hampshire have witnessed the most significant growth, with median home prices increasing by 137.0% and 114.0%, respectively. Other top states include Maine (+110.8%), Utah (+109.3%), Montana (+106.2%), Tennessee (+104.6%), Rhode Island (+103.6%), and Georgia (+101.4%).
Conversely, Louisiana (+17.0%), North Dakota (+25.1%), and Alaska (+38.6%) saw home price growth barely keeping pace with CPI growth over the past decade. Generally, parts of the Midwest, along with certain pockets of the South and Northeast, reported the slowest growth in home prices nationally during this period.
At the city level, locations in Florida notably stand out for their remarkable surge in home prices. For instance, in Pine Hills, FL, median home prices skyrocketed from approximately $95,000 in 2016 to nearly $273,000 as of March 2026, marking a 188% increase. In fact, 30 Florida cities reported price increases of over 100%—median home prices in those cities more than doubled in just 10 years.
