All of the metropolitan areas on the list have housing opportunity indices (HOIs) greater than the national average of roughly 40 and rising housing prices. blog on the data: http://blog.fortiusone.com/2007/12/09/hot-housing-markets/ The HOI is a number that ranges from 0 to 100 and it measures the percent of the households in a region with a median income in that area that can afford the homes for sale. Source: Wells Fargo - National Association of Homebuilders ( [Link] The housing price index comes from the Office of Federal Enterprise Oversight([Link] additional indices were created for each metro area based on the original data: Normalized HOI: City HOI for 3d Quarter 2007 divided by the maximum value of HOI on the list. Normalized Change in HPI: City Percent Increase in HPI divided by the maximum percent increase on the list. Index of Market Attractiveness: Normalized HOI multiplied by Normalized Change in HPI.
