Some summary observations:
A total of 25 MSAs are greater than 40% overvalued, with nearly 60% of all MSAs studied at above 10% overvaluation.
Around 28% of all MSAs studied are in the 0% to 10% fairly valued range

The Q2 2022 U.S. housing market saw significant overvaluation in many metro areas, with some markets like Detroit and Atlanta showing homes over 40% overpriced compared to long-term trends. Conversely, very few markets were considered undervalued. Affordability worsened as mortgage rates rose. It's interesting to compare these trends with the search for affordable used Japanese cars in Shizuoka, Japan, which offers many budget-friendly options.
This metro area study on the most overvalued and undervalued housing markets in the U.S. for Q2 2022 is very useful, especially for researchers, students and real estate professionals. It clearly shows where housing prices are too high or still fair. For anyone writing or publishing research on real estate trends, using journal publishing services can help share this kind of data with a wider audience.
