Best Cities for Home Buyers

Located less than 20 kilometers from Las Las vegas, Henderson may be Nevada’s second most growing town, but it’s first when it comes to being ideal for real estate customers.

In conditions of inventory, it’s 4th best, with one available house for every 106 citizens. The town also placed extremely in conditions of protection, with 21 criminal offenses per season per 1,000 residents—the smallest in our top 10.

HENDERSON, NV

LAS VEGAS, NV

 Widely known as neighbor to the west, Sin City was an overall boom-town of new home development in the late 1990s through mid-2000s and was hit hard by the financial and housing troubles of the late 2000s. Now costs there are making a comeback, but owning a home there is still well within the means of citizens, with affordability in our index ranking 29th overall.

Moving from the American Southwest to the Southeast, North Carolina’s third-largest metro is also our third-best city for home buyers. Greensboro fared especially well when it came to median days on market, with homes there going a whopping 105 days before selling.

GREENSBORO, NC

The Lone Star State has a lone representative on our ranking, and it’s El Paso. The west Texas town placed highly thanks in part to a top 50 finish across the board, with standout categories including median days on market (12th at 95 days), crime rate (16th at 30 per year per 1,000 people) and school quality (tied for 16th with a score of six out of 10).

EL PASO, TX

It may lay claim to being the horse capital of the world, but in our findings Lexington is the house capital of Kentucky. The Bluegrass State’s second-largest city was propelled halfway up our ranking in part by its school quality (it scored a seven out of 10) and number of available homes per person (there’s one for every 132 residents).

LEXINGTON, KY

It may lay claim to being the horse capital of the world, but in our findings Lexington is the house capital of Kentucky. The Bluegrass State’s second-largest city was propelled halfway up our ranking in part by its school quality (it scored a seven out of 10) and number of available homes per person (there’s one for every 132 residents).

PITTSBURGH, PA

The second North Carolina city on our top 10, and only about an hour from our No. 3 pick Greensboro, Charlotte placed near the middle of the ranking across its individual cri-teria, with a couple of exceptions. In terms of available homes per capita, it placed 14th, with one for every 200 residents. It also placed respectably at No. 23 for median days on market at 82 days.

CHARLOTTE, NC

Established near the site of a Revolutionary War era fort of the same name, Fort Wayne stood out in one key area on our individual criteria ranking: affordability. Specifically, it placed 4th, with a ratio of just about 2 to 1 between its median home price of $90,000 and median income of $44,597 per year.
