Thus, by default, the index also measures the pressure on the <a href=\"low-inventory-and-high-prices-cause-showing-traffic-to-level-off-in-parts-of-the-u-s\/\">demand for homeownership<\/a>. Scores approaching one indicate strong downward pressure on the demand for ownership.<\/p>\n<p>Two metropolitan areas Dallas (.92) and Denver (.77) are rapidly approaching an index score of one. \u201cBoth Dallas and Denver are significantly overheated,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/business.fau.edu\/faculty-research\/faculty-profiles\/profile\/kjohns91.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ken Johnson<\/a>, Ph.D., one of the index\u2019s creators and associate dean and professor in <a href=\"https:\/\/business.fau.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FAU\u2019s College of Business<\/a>. \u201cResidential real estate prices in Dallas are significantly above their long-term pricing trend, and I anticipate pricing corrections in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strong economies in Dallas and Denver have buoyed property prices beyond their fundamental levels for a sustained period.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrices are still appreciating in both metros but at a decreasing rate, suggesting that the current upward pattern in property appreciation is nearing an end,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/business.fiu.edu\/faculty\/expert-guides.cfm?FlagDirectory=Display&amp;EMP=berachae\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eli Beracha<\/a>, Ph.D., co-creator of the index and director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/business.fiu.edu\/academic-departments\/real-estate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hollo School of Real Estate at FIU<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 23 cities in the BH&amp;J Index, 20 trended toward rent territory last quarter, implying these markets became slightly more renter friendly in terms of wealth creation. Interestingly, three metro areas \u2013 Honolulu, Miami, and Seattle \u2013 which have been some of the hottest real estate markets in the country, have trended marginally back toward ownership territory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis does not mean that these markets are exhibiting clear buy signal but rather they appear to be pulling back from the brink as buyers begin to negotiate more aggressively in these areas,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/business.fiu.edu\/faculty\/expert-guides.cfm?FlagDirectory=Display&amp;Emp=hardinw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">William G.

Residential cycles are a relatively new phenomenon in most parts of the country. However, markets are going to experience pricing events, he said.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThese events could be as benign as flattening prices and extended marketing times in less overheated cities to significant price declines in the more overheated metros,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cWe are nearing the peak of the current residential cycle.
