Fourteen percent of the metro areas tracked posted double-digit price gains, up from 7% in the third quarter, as 30-year fixed mortgage ranged from 6.12% to 6.85%.

“Record-high home prices and the accompanying housing wealth gains are definitely good news for property owners,” said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun in a statement this week. “However, renters who are looking to transition into homeownership face significant hurdles.”

The Midwest is home to six of the 10 metro markets with the largest median-price increases. However, Jackson, Miss., led the way with a 28.7% surge.

The only New York town to crack the top 10 was upstate Elmira, which finished fourth, boasting a 17.6% price hike.
