WalletHub compared 300 US cities to reveal this year’s best real estate markets
Anyone thinking of buying a house — and making a good investment in the process — may want to consider checking out Texas.
That’s according to a new report from WalletHub, which found the best real estate markets in 2022.
Among the top 10 markets, six are located in the Lone Star State, including the top area: Frisco, Texas.
For its report, WalletHub compared 300 cities based on 17 metrics in two categories: "real estate market" and "affordability and economic environment."
Aside from the overall ranking, WalletHub also learned how cities ranked within specific metrics.
