The Golden State’s housing market is proving to be golden so far heading into the fall buying season. Several Californian cities dominate realtor.com®’s list of the top-performing housing markets in the country, with San Francisco taking the No 1 spot. Realtor.com® has singled out 20 of the nation’s 300 largest markets, identifying the “hottest markets” in terms of housing supply (measured by days on the market) and demand (measured by listing views on its site). “Sellers in these markets continue to see listings move much more quickly than the rest of the country in September, and the seasonal slowdown is not as strong in these markets,” says Jonathan Smoke, realtor.com®’s chief economist. Here are the top 20 housing markets in September, according to realtor.com®: San Francisco, Calif. Dallas, Texas Denver, Colo. Vallejo, Calif. San Jose, Calif. San Diego, Calif. Santa Rosa, Calif. Sacramento, Calif. Santa Cruz, Calif. Yuba City, Calif. Midland, Texas Stockton, Calif. Los Angeles, Calif. Columbus, Ohio Nashville, Tenn. Detroit, Mich. Ann Arbor, Mich. Modesto, Calif.
