Pittsburgh Named Best City for Affordable Homes

Research indicates that Manchester, NH, has maintained its status as the hottest U.S. housing market, with properties selling in just 23 days, despite higher median prices compared to national averages. In contrast, Savannah, GA, has seen a significant decline in popularity, with homes lingering for 52 days on the market, offering buyers potential leverage. In the UK, new towns are emerging as affordable housing options, with properties in these areas costing significantly less than the national average, making them attractive for first-time buyers. Notably, Halifax reports that Antrim has experienced the most substantial growth in house prices among new towns, while the government is investing in plans to develop new towns further. Pittsburgh has been recognized as the best American city for affordable homes, scoring highly on affordability and lifestyle factors, with a median home price significantly below the national average. The analysis highlights a growing trend of buyers seeking value in less traditional markets and new town developments.
