The big picture
ATTOM's Q4 2025 report highlights that Opportunity Zones are experiencing home price growth at a rate comparable to non-Opportunity Zones, signaling a broader market trend. Despite these gains, homes in Opportunity Zones remain significantly more affordable, with only a fifth of tracts posting median prices above the national median. This dynamic underscores the ongoing challenge of balancing economic redevelopment with housing affordability.
