Nantucket HomeDid you know that in 1970, it was cheaper to purchase residential property in Nantucket than in the old industrial city of Bridgeport, Connecticut?

Yet by 1989, Nantucket had become some of the most expensive real estate in the world, while Bridgeport today is less expensive than the U.S. average. Where are those places today—the ones that look like Nantucket in 1970?

Scout Vision’s exclusive 5-year Home Price Forecast helps you be the first to find the next Nantucket in any market, by providing a looking glass into every neighborhood in the United States.


If You Invested Here 5 Years Ago

To demonstrate Scout Vision’s predictive capabilities, below is a list of the Top 10 locations that Scout Vision forecasted, based on current conditions in 2011 (Q3) to appreciate in value the most by 2016 (Q3) (5 years). For comparison, the table displays forecast and actual appreciation for each location.

Imagine if you had invested equally across these locations in 2011. You would have averaged a return of 74% in 5 years. In contrast, the national average return was just 23%—less than one-third the return you would have realized.
