There is a lot of housing in Moscow built from 1970 to 1999 so parts of town may have that "Brady Bunch" look of homes popular in the '70s and early '80s, although some of these houses were built up through the early '90s as well. There is also a lot of housing in Moscow built between 1940-1969 ( 25.71%). A lesser amount of the housing stock also hails from before 1939 ( 20.14%). There's also some housing in Moscow built between 2000 and later ( 19.43%).
Some of the lowest real estate appreciation rates in America over the last ten years have been in Moscow, where house values have increased just 52.93%, which is annualized rate of 4.34%. This rate is lower than the appreciation rate found in 90% of the cities and towns in America.
Appreciation rates are so strong in Moscow that despite a nationwide downturn in the housing market, Moscow real estate has continued to appreciate in value faster than most communities. Looking at just the latest twelve months, Moscow appreciation rates continue to be some of the highest in America, at 8.81%, which is higher than appreciation rates in 79.16% of the cities and towns in the nation. Based on the last twelve months, short-term real estate investors have found good fortune in Moscow. Moscow appreciation rates in the latest quarter were at 6.05%, which equates to an annual appreciation rate of 26.51%.
Importantly, this makes Moscow one of the highest appreciating communities in the nation for the latest quarter, and may signal the borough's near-future real estate investment strength.
