Two Arizona cities ranked within the top 10 of a report that lists the best U.S. cities for first-time home buyers.
With 26% of home purchases last year made by first-time buyers, the personal-finance website WalletHub recently released its Best & Worst Cities for First-Time Home Buyers report.
Surprise ranked sixth and Gilbert ranked seventh.
To create its list, WalletHub took the pulse of real estate in 300 cities of varying sizes using 22 key metrics. The data set ranges from housing affordability to real-estate tax rate to property-crime rate.
