Dow Jones
01/07

1014 ET - Rochester, N.Y., tops Realtor.com's Best Markets for First-Time Homebuyers in 2026, where young Americans can put down roots with a mix of affordability, abundant for-sale inventory, local amenities and solid metro-level housing forecasts and economic outlooks, Realtor.com says. This year's ranking highlights a truth for many first-time buyers: the best opportunities are often found in markets that balance attainable home prices with everyday livability. In 2026 that balance is concentrated in the eastern half of the country. After Rochester comes Harrisburg, Pa.; Granite City, Ill.; Birmingham, Ala.; and North Little Rock, Ark. In the top markets, the median-priced listed home is affordable to the median-earning 25- to 34-year-old under the 30% "payment share of income" rule, assuming a 6.25% mortgage rate, a 30-year fixed mortgage and a 10% down payment.
