Some housing markets are heating up so much that homes are selling in less than 24 hours—also known as a “flash sale.” 

Recently analyzed data from major metro areas using MLS information as well as shared information amoung brokerages between Oct. 1, 2012 and Feb. 26, 2013, reveal which metros are seeing some of the fastest sales. These rankings are based on cities that were seeing a home status going from active to pending in less than a day after being listed. Many of those listings in as little as an hour.
