According to Wolf Street , mid-tier single-family homes have dropped in price in 14 cities from their August data, with seasonal pricing taken into account. The data comes from seasonally-adjusted three-month data from the Zillow Home Value Index, focused on 14 distinct cities rather than Metropolitan Statistical Areas. In two of the cities observed, Oakland, CA, and Austin, TX (which saw the greatest decline), the price of a mid-tier single-family home dropped by 24% from August. Cape Coral, FL, New Orleans, LA, and San Francisco, CA followed with 19%, 18%, and 16% drops, respectively. Denver, CO, also made the top ten list with a 10% drop in home prices from August. Once-favored Sun Belt markets like Dallas, TX, Tampa, FL, and Phoenix, AZ are also seeing home value decline due to changes like employment growth elsewhere. Texas and Florida, in particular, have a ton of new unsold inventory that is tilting supply and demand in favor of the buyer.
