Pretium says 70% of US metros post YoY house price gains as housing market diverges

  • Pretium Securities published a U.S. housing outlook that flags a shift from broad-based moves to sharp metro-level divergence in 2026.
  • About 70% of metropolitan areas posted positive year-over-year house price growth through March 31, 2026.
  • Market selection has become more critical as some metros show flat or negative appreciation, raising the risk of weaker residential returns.
  • An absorption index showed faster housing absorption in Columbus, Ohio, versus slower absorption in Austin, Texas.
  • Pretium kept a constructive national view, citing long-term underbuilding and demographic demand as support for risk-adjusted residential real estate returns.
