Homeowners eager to sell their current house are often incredibly optimistic when valuing their own property. And anyone keeping track of housing prices over the past three years might be expecting a big windfall. But the current housing market is finally starting to cool off a little after record breaking rises over the past three years. It may be harder for sellers to get the juicy deals they were expecting even a year before.

If your goal as a seller is to get as much value out of your home as possible, listing your house in a buyer's market is not ideal. However, with high interest rates, it may not be as much of a buyer's market as it was before, either. Sellers and buyers are both seeking the best deals on homes right now.

To figure out which Metro areas had the most underpriced homes, GoBankingRate analyzed data from Zillow using the Zillow Median List Prices and the Zillow Home Value Index for Single Family Homes. Using housing data from Zillow, the 2023 average home value was subtracted from each city's median list price. GOBankingRates then ranked the top 20 cities in terms of the largest difference between the value and list price. Homeowners looking to sell in these buyer's markets may want to reconsider.
