Moscow is dominated by renter-occupied one, two, or no bedrooms apartments. 67.96% of Moscow's dwellings are rentals.
There is a lot of housing in Moscow built from 1970 to 1999 so parts of town may have that "Brady Bunch" look of homes popular in the '70s and early '80s, although some of these houses were built up through the early '90s as well. There is also a lot of housing in Moscow built between 2000 and later ( 25.80%). A lesser amount of the housing stock also hails from between 1940-1969 ( 23.03%). There's also some housing in Moscow built before 1939 ( 9.08%).
Appreciation rates for homes in Moscow have been tracking above average for the last ten years, according to NeighborhoodScout data. The cumulative appreciation rate over the ten years has been 111.65%, which ranks in the top 30% nationwide. This equates to an annual average Moscow house appreciation rate of 7.79%.
Over the last year, Moscow appreciation rates have trailed the rest of the nation. In the last twelve months, Moscow's appreciation rate has been 5.26%, which is lower than appreciation rates in most communities in America. In the latest quarter, NeighborhoodScout's data show that house appreciation rates in Moscow were at 3.02%, which equates to an annual appreciation rate of 12.64%.
Importantly, this makes Moscow one of the highest appreciating communities in the nation for the latest quarter, and may signal the city's near-future real estate investment strength.
Relative to Idaho, our data show that Moscow's latest annual appreciation rate is higher than 80% of the other cities and towns in Idaho.
One very important thing to keep in mind is that these are average appreciation rates for the city. Individual neighborhoods within Moscow differ in their investment potential, sometimes by a great deal. Fortunately, you can use NeighborhoodScout to pinpoint the exact neighborhoods in Moscow - or in any city or town - that have the best track record of real estate appreciation, by the latest quarter, the last year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, or even since 2000, to assist you in making the best Moscow real estate investment or home purchase decisions.
