SmartAsset was out Wednesday with its list of the best cities for first-time home buyers. Texas, it would appear, is a prime destination for those looking for an affordable house.
To derive its list, SmartAsset looked specifically at data on seven factors: the number of HUD-approved lenders, loan funding ratios, the average price per square foot, housing affordability, homeowner stability, home price volatility and the number of negative quarters over the past six years.
