Residential real estate markets around the country have experienced tremendous losses over the last few years, but recent data from Cyberhomes shows that the trend just might be reversing in some areas. This gallery takes a look at 11 locations that are bucking the downward trend of their surrounding metro area. Could these standouts be leading indicators of a more widespread turnaround?
 
All data derives from the Cyberhomes Quarterly Real Estate Report for the second quarter 2009. The locations were chosen by comparing the annual percent change in median sales price of individual ZIP codes to that of their surrounding metro area. Other elements, such as the population in the ZIP code and the number of sales, were also factored in. Property listings were located via Cyberhomes’ search tool.
