As you know, the price of everything has gone up recently with no end in sight. This certainly includes real estate as well. A recent analysis looked at the number of million-dollar cities across the country. By definition, a million-dollar city is a town with a typical home value of $1 million or more. A decade ago, there were only 126 million-dollar cities in the U.S. Currently, there are 481 million-dollar cities across the country. In fact, record-setting home appreciation added 146 more cities to this list. Most of the million-dollar cities are clustered around eight large metro areas: New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Jose, Boston, Seattle, Miami, and Washington, D.C.

Summary
Referred to as The Freedom State by many throughout the country, Florida has certainly gained in popularity and thus residents over the past few years. With many of these transplants moving to The Sunshine State from significantly more expensive markets, this has significantly increased the competition for Florida homes. In particular, South Florida continues to dominant the rankings for home price appreciation. With this said, rental prices in South Florida markets have also followed suit. Although the recent rate of home appreciation can not continue at the same pace, the continued demand for housing should reinforce price growth.
