People in Hollywood primarily live in small (one, two or no bedroom) single-family detached homes. Hollywood has a mixture of owner-occupied and renter-occupied housing.
At the end of World War II, American soldiers returned home triumphant and, with the help of the GI Bill, built homes by the millions on the edges of America's cities. These homes were predominantly capes and ranches, modest in size, but built to house a growing middle-class as the 20th century became the American century. Hollywood's housing was primarily built during this period, from the '40s through the '60s. A full 50.65% of the city's housing hails from this era. Other housing ages represented in Hollywood include homes built between 1970-1999 ( 38.19%) and housing constructed between 2000 and later ( 9.64%). There's also some housing in Hollywood built before 1939 ( 1.52%).
Vacant housing appears to be an issue in Hollywood. Fully 16.69% of the housing stock is classified as vacant. Left unchecked, vacant Hollywood homes and apartments can be a drag on the real estate market, holding Hollywood real estate prices below levels they could achieve if vacant housing was absorbed into the market and became occupied. Housing vacancy rates are a useful measure to consider, along with other things, if you are a home buyer or a real estate investor.
In the last 10 years, Hollywood has experienced some of the highest home appreciation rates of any community in the nation. Hollywood real estate appreciated 173.15% over the last ten years, which is an average annual home appreciation rate of 10.57%, putting Hollywood in the top 10% nationally for real estate appreciation. If you are a home buyer or real estate investor, Hollywood definitely has a track record of being one of the best long term real estate investments in America through the last ten years.
Appreciation rates are so strong in Hollywood that despite a nationwide downturn in the housing market, Hollywood real estate has continued to appreciate in value faster than most communities. Looking at just the latest twelve months, Hollywood appreciation rates continue to be some of the highest in America, at 12.31%, which is higher than appreciation rates in 94.31% of the cities and towns in the nation. Based on the last twelve months, short-term real estate investors have found good fortune in Hollywood. Hollywood appreciation rates in the latest quarter were at 3.44%, which equates to an annual appreciation rate of 14.50%.
Importantly, this makes Hollywood 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 Florida, our data show that Hollywood's latest annual appreciation rate is higher than 80% of the other cities and towns in Florida.
One very important thing to keep in mind is that these are average appreciation rates for the city. Individual neighborhoods within Hollywood differ in their investment potential, sometimes by a great deal. Fortunately, you can use NeighborhoodScout to pinpoint the exact neighborhoods in Hollywood - 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 Hollywood real estate investment or home purchase decisions.
