As the year comes to a close, the residential market is going through its typical seasonal slowdown.
But despite the holiday cool down, these markets are still shining through as the 20 hottest markets in the nation, with San Francisco once again landing the title of the hottest housing market in America, the latest report from realtor.com said.
