Home buyers are turning out in markets across the country for the spring selling season, and some markets are seeing more action than others.

“We are now firmly in the time of the year when peak demand and peak inventory levels typically occur, through spring and early summer,” says Jonathan Smoke, realtor.com®’s chief economist. “Buyers should expect substantial competition, especially in the hottest markets, and for affordable priced homes within most markets.”

The median list price for a home was $220,000 in March – 11 percent higher than a year ago, according to realtor.com®’s preliminary analysis of its site data in March of 200 of the largest markets across the country.

Homes are selling faster too. The median number of days on the market fell to 89 in March – 13 percent lower than a year ago.

The following 20 markets homes had homes selling at some of the fastest speeds:

  1. San Jose, Calif.: 22 days (median days home spent on the market in March)
  2. San Francisco, Calif.: 26 days
  3. Santa Roa, Calif.: 32 days
  4. Denver, Colo.: 37 days
