About 42% of properties in the area are starter homes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unprecedented Times Ahead?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While &quot;a lot of these areas have been growing in recent years,&quot; it&#8217;s important to remember that &quot;we could potentially be walking into some pretty unprecedented times in 2025 and beyond,&quot; said Jacob Channel, senior economist at LendingTree.
