What's fascinating to see is that around me the wealthy towns are seeing 6-7% annual appreciation whereas the lower middle class towns are in the 2-3% range.

K-shaped economy and all that I suppose.

Ish? Look into towns that didn't have a high reliance on tech. In particular, look for ones that didn't ride the rollercoaster of really high wages that a lot of tech drove and is now flattening off.

Looks like shipping is also an industry that you probably don't want to track on this search. Other than that, places that saw modest wage growth saw similarly modest housing cost growth. And haven't seen it fall back, yet.
