It's amazing to see the growth patterns in each state. Nevada not having personal income tax and no corporate income tax has to be a draw for people.

Key Takeaways
Nevada’s population surged 572% since 1970, making it America’s fastest-growing state by a wide margin.

Population growth was concentrated across the Sun Belt and Mountain West, led by Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Utah.

Most Northeastern and Midwestern states grew far more slowly, while Washington, D.C. was the only region to lose population overall.

Key Market Takeaways: April 2026 Regional Housing Report

South Leads in Volume: The South continues to serve as the primary engine for U.S. housing volume, tracking an annualized pace of 1.87 million sales transactions. Expanding inventory levels in this region have successfully stabilized pricing, yielding a marginal year-over-year appreciation of 0.4%.

Rate Pressures in the West: Elevated mortgage rates continue to disproportionately impact high-cost coastal markets. The West was the only geographic region to experience both a decline in monthly transaction volume (-2.6%) and a year-over-year contraction in median home value (-1.4%).

Inventory Constraints Drive Northeast Pricing: Closed transaction volume stalled completely month-over-month in the Northeast. However, severe inventory shortages continue to create strong competitive pressures, pushing the regional median price up by 4.8% to $510,800.

Midwest Inbound Demand: Driven by relative affordability compared to national baselines, the Midwest experienced a 2.2% monthly lift in closed transactions. Home values maintained steady, sustainable growth at 3.6% year-over-year.

National Benchmark: On a macro level, the national median existing-home price consolidated at $417,700, reflecting a stable 0.9% increase compared to the same period last year.

We offer an easy-to-use Property Tax Estimator to help you get a general idea of what your annual property taxes could look like.

Simply enter your estimated property value or purchase price, and the tool will provide a projected range of your annual tax liability.

Please keep in mind, if purchasing a property, you may pay more in property tax than the previous owner because state law requires the assessor to take the current taxable assessed value to full assessed value after the purchase.
