It includes counties whose percentage of seasonal homes and median home values are both at or above the top 20th percentile. According to the press release, mortgage rate lock data is a leading indicator of second home buying activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/national-percentage-of-second-home-transactions-was-on-the-upswing-again-in-q4-2021-after-receding-from-an-all-time-high-in-q1-2021-301469265.html?tc=eml_cleartime#\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/03\/Pacaso_share_of_second_home_rate.jpg\" alt=\"This graph shows the share of second home rate locks was on the upswing at the end of 2021, after dipping mid-year from an all-time high of 5.7% in Q1 2022.\" title=\"This graph shows the share of second home rate locks was on the upswing at the end of 2021, after dipping mid-year from an all-time high of 5.7% in Q1 2022.\"\/><\/a><figcaption>This graph shows the share of second home rate locks was on the upswing at the end of 2021, after dipping mid-year from an all-time high of 5.7% in Q1 2022.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.ctfassets.net\/n2ifzifcqscw\/78qChMdD99X7rBfmwpJs0E\/8a1129b036d33708b2a45e37412b52ed\/blog__Q4_Second_Home_Market_Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report<\/a> shows that in Q1 2021, the percentage of second home mortgage rate locks hit its highest recorded level, with the share of second home transactions reaching 5.7%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the two subsequent quarters, the percentage of second home rate locks decreased to 4.6% in Q2, and to 4.5% in Q3. But the share of second home transactions rebounded in Q4, reaching 5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Looking back at this past year, we saw the percentage of second home sales decrease in the second and third quarter, after peaking in the first three months of last year,&#8221; said Pacaso CEO\u00a0Austin Allison. &#8220;In April of last year, however, people stopped to take a beat, to see how things would shake out in what everyone hoped would be a post-pandemic reality. For some, that also meant going back to the office, and perhaps not coincidentally, second-home sales started to slow. But these last few months, many employers finally decided to make remote\u00a0work\u00a0more permanent. This seems to have spurred renewed interest in second home ownership.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-increases-in-southeast\">Increases in Southeast<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Most markets with the largest year-over-year increases in second home mortgage rate locks were located in the Southeast U.S., the report found.\u00a0Sumter County, Florida, between\u00a0Orlando\u00a0and\u00a0Tampa, saw the largest national increase in second home rate lock transactions, with a 65% year-over-year increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;For the past year we&#8217;ve been tracking up-and-coming second home hot spots,&#8221; said Allison. &#8220;And actually,\u00a0Sumter\u00a0is a perfect example of the kinds of locations we call &#8216;vacation-destination-adjacent&#8217; that have been catching our eye. If established second-home destinations are like Broadway, these emerging nearby destinations are like Off-Broadway, and their moment in the limelight\u2013or the sunshine\u2013is coming.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>St. John&#8217;s County in\u00a0Florida\u00a0also saw an increase in transactions, with second-home mortgage rate locks up 9.7% year over year in Q4. One of the county&#8217;s notable cities is\u00a0St. Augustine, located just south of\u00a0Jacksonville.\u00a0St. Augustine\u00a0is known for being the nation&#8217;s oldest city, and is often referred to as The Ancient City because of its historical landmarks and cobblestone streets that date back to the late 1500s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>43 of the 50 counties tracked in Pacaso&#8217;s report saw double-digit price growth in second home prices in Q4.\u00a0Mono County, California, which borders\u00a0Yosemite National Park, topped the charts in terms of price growth, with a median purchase price of\u00a0$790K, up an astonishing 83.7% compared to a year ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That increase is likely driven by the confluence of several factors, including the area&#8217;s extraordinary endowment of natural beauty, its relative proximity to expensive West Coast population centers, and limited new construction. The latter is in stark contrast to some other second home hotspots, like those in\u00a0Florida, which have seen more significant development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atlantic County, New Jersey, home to\u00a0Atlantic City, saw the biggest annual declines in second home median sale prices, down 14%.\u00a0New Jersey\u00a0has been particularly susceptible to foreclosures, and according to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3425723-1&amp;h=308544804&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.attomdata.com%2Fnews%2Fmarket-trends%2Fforeclosures%2Fattom-year-end-2021-u-s-foreclosure-market-report%2F&amp;a=Attom+data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Attom data<\/a>,\u00a0New Jersey\u00a0counties had the third-highest amount of foreclosures in the country in Q4 (1 in every 1,288 units).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sumter County, Florida, located between Orlando and Tampa is an up-and-coming second-home hot spot, says Pacaso CEO Austin Allison<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15802,"featured_media":4822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3255],"tags":[],"coauthors":[19],"class_list":["post-2799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
