These cities saw the the biggest home price gains since the recession

Detroit and San Jose lead the list
APR 20, 2018

Home renovation and home-flipping TV shows continue to be all the rage. A viewer's ultimate fantasy might be: "What if I had optimally timed the real estate market to purchase investment property?" Using figures from ATTOM Data Solutions, Bloomberg News found this "shoulda, coulda, woulda" proposition produced the biggest appreciation in two locales at opposite ends of the socioeconomic spectrum. Well-timed purchases in down-and-out Detroit and affluent San Jose, Calif., would have yielded a return of more than 190%, albeit from very different starting points. At the post-recession bottom in early to mid-2009, the average home in the Detroit area could have been grabbed for only $47,000, while in San Jose, such a home would have cost around $395,000. Not quite a decade later, Detroit area home prices are averaging $137,900, while San Jose weighs in at a whopping $1,150,000. How's that for tripling your money?https://www.investmentnews.com/wp-content/uploads/assets/graphics src="/wp-content/uploads2018/04/CI115195419.PNG"
