US housing markets see rising prices in Tampa and Colorado Springs

Housing demand in the United States remains strong as limited supply drives price growth in several metropolitan areas. In Tampa, Florida, Realtor.com ranks the city among the top ten metros for expected year‑over‑year price growth in 2021, projecting a 7.5% increase. The market is constrained by a long‑standing inventory deficit dating back to the Great Recession, with thousands of subcontractors absent from construction and a national shortfall of roughly 400,000 homes per year.

In the Colorado Springs metro area, data from Zillow shows that cities such as Monument and Woodland Park continue to post double‑digit five‑year price gains, with typical home values ranging from $330,000 to $761,000. While rising mortgage rates have tempered growth in some locales, many communities still experience notable price jumps compared with the previous year, underscoring persistent nationwide housing‑supply pressures.
