San Antonio Ranked #7 in Zillow Top 10 Cities for First time Homebuyers

ZILLOW’S CRITERIA

Zillow’s 2024 list of the best markets for first-time buyers is based on four metrics:

Rent affordability, as defined by the share of median household income spent on rent.
The share of available inventory on Zillow that the median household can comfortably afford, meaning spending no more than 30% of income on the estimated monthly mortgage cost.
The ratio of affordable for-sale inventory to renter households. More inventory per renter household is an indicator of less competition for each listing.
The share of households age 29-43. More households of similar age means a higher score in Zillow’s ranking.
