Guess What? Five of the Top 10 Real Estate Markets Are in Texas

WalletHub’s report on “2017’s Best Real-Estate Market” offers a pleasant surprise for some Lone Star State cities. Specifically, five of the top 10 cities on this list were North Texas suburbs. When it came to issues such as job growth, home turnover rate and economic strength, Frisco, TX topped the list, followed by McKinney, TX in second place, and Allen, TX, coming in third. Meanwhile, Carrollton, TX took the ninth spot.

According to the WalletHub website, the analysts compared 300 cities across the “Real-Estate Market” and “Affordability & Economic Environment” areas, and evaluated further using “21 relevant metrics.” The metrics, which included home appreciation, foreclosure rate, vacancy rate and share of most recently built houses, were then weighted, and ranked.
