July 2026 release
Housing data,
ranked.
Read by a real landlord.
Every month I rank the 200 largest US metros — the 195 with complete data qualify — by how much the typical home actually gained or lost, then say where I'd buy, watch or avoid as someone who owns and rents property. The full table is free and the method is public. It's a 90-day move: a short-window signal, not a verdict on the market — and a falling price and a worsening investment are not the same thing.
The 10 fastest-falling US metros
Ranked by 90-day change in the typical home value, with rent and gross yield alongside. A 90-day move is a short-window signal, not a verdict on the market.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SeattleWA | −1.55% | $2,282 | 3.70% |
| 2 | AustinTX | −1.52% | $1,647 | 4.66% |

10 US cities where home prices are falling fastest
July 2026 data · 195 metros ranked · the #1 market isn't the one people expect.
What makes this different
The method is published
Metric, window, size floor, tie-breaks and known limitations all live on a public page. If you think a ranking is wrong, you can check the work.
Rent sits next to price
A market where prices fall and rents hold is not a market that's breaking. Every ranking carries a gross yield figure, so you can tell those two apart.
Near-ties get disclosed
When #10 and #11 are a hundredth of a point apart, that gets said out loud instead of being dressed up as a clean cutoff.
A landlord's read, not a headline
I own rental property. Each month I say which of these markets I'd actually buy in, which I'd avoid, and which I don't understand well enough to call.
The monthly ranking, in your inbox
One email a month: the markets that moved most, the numbers behind them, and where I'd buy, watch or avoid — plus the video. No spam, unsubscribe in one click.
