Many of the places with the hottest markets in May will come as no surprise to consumers — most are in California. Realtor.com determines “hot” markets based on two factors: the median inventory age in the market and the number of views per listing on Realtor.com, and the 20 hottest markets rank in the top 50 in both metrics. Nationwide, a home is on the market for a median 66 days, and in the hottest markets, inventory turns over 8 to 45 days more quickly than in the rest of the country.
Based on data from the first three weeks of May, Realtor.com determined the 20 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs, as determined by the U.S. Census Bureau) with the hottest markets this spring in America

These markets have seen tremendous demand and turnover for a variety of reasons. In many of the California locales, economic growth, combined with limited supply and high demand, make homebuying a bit of a mad dash. For places like Detroit and Ann Arbor, the hot market is driven mostly by affordability, in conjunction with economic recovery.
