Housing data provider HouseCanary recently looked at all 318 MSAs in the U.S. for affordability, price growth, and market pace in order to provide a snapshot of where the market is slowing down and gaining speed.

US markets that have been headlining the recent growth cycle are decelerating dramatically, bringing their growth more closely inline with historically stable MSAs.
