After what WalletHub calls “promising evidence of steady economic recovery” since the beginning of the year, the financial research firm compared real-estate markets in 25 of the largest U.S. metropolitan areas.
Ten key metrics were used to rank these housing markets from most to least healthy, including the interest rate on a first mortgage to the percentage of households that have received state or local assistance on their first housing loan.
The top three healthiest housing markets are, in descending order, Boston, Oklahoma City, and San Antonio.
