Consumers who have worked from home and have found they can move anywhere may find a handful of markets seeing falling prices that could offer a deal in homeownership.
Home prices have posted double-digit annual gains virtually everywhere, but realtor.com® researchers uncovered six markets in the U.S. that are seeing prices fall. Most of these cities rely on tourism and college sports for their local economies, which have been impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
