Emerald City's $1.5 million housing future

What they did: Economists from the real estate listings site analyzed home price growth in the 100 largest U.S. metro areas between 2014 and 2019, steering clear of data influenced by the recession or pandemic.

• They used those trends to forecast 10 years into the future.

By the numbers: Seattle ranked 10th for projected price growth over the next decade but topped the list for the highest current median home price at $694,000, according to the report.

• Between 2014 and 2019, prices here jumped more than 46%, per the report.

Zoom out: Boise, Portland, Salt Lake City and Denver are also expected to see fast-rising home prices, per Realtor.com.

The bottom line: The city's red-hot housing market shows no signs of cooling down and for many, the cost of living is becoming increasingly out of reach.
