Lower cost communities were among the ZIPs that saw the biggest home price increases in the first half of 2019

Even with home price increases slowing considerably in the first six months of 2019, there are a few communities that are seeing double digit price gains.

Most of the biggest gains were in relatively low cost communities, but there were notable exceptions with La Jolla and others that seem to rise no matter what is going on with the market.

Figures are based on median home prices from January to June 2019 compared to the same time period in 2018. Data was limited to communities with at least 50 sales and provided by real estate tracker CoreLogic.
