If you’re planning to buy a home in one of these major cities, you might want to start looking ASAP! According to this MarketWatch article by Scott Teran, the following 25 metro areas are the hottest real-estate markets in the U.S. with vacancy rates under one percent. Lennar offers new home communities in 10 of the markets listed below!
They say a good place is hard to find, but if you’re looking to live in one of these 25 metropolitan areas, that may feel like an understatement.
Using data from ATTOM Solutions, we checked which metro areas have the lowest vacancy rates—that is to say, the fewest available residential properties—and ranked them. To make the list more relevant, we didn’t include areas with a population less than 100,000.
Believe it or not, every metro area on this list has a less than 1% vacancy rate. So if you’re a house hunter in one of the following 25 metro areas, we wish you good luck (you’ll need it).
25. Portland-South Portland, Maine (0.69% vacancy for residential properties)
24. El Paso, Texas (0.65% vacancy for residential properties)
23. San Diego-Carlsbad, Calif. (0.65% vacancy for residential properties)
Though it has the same percentage of vacancy as El Paso, the San Diego-Carlsbad population is much larger (3,200,000 vs. 800,000), so it ranks No. 23.
22. Raleigh, N.C. (0.61% vacancy for residential properties)
21. McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Texas (0.59% vacancy for residential properties)
20. Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, Colo. (0.56% vacancy for residential properties)
19. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md. (0.56% vacancy for residential properties)
Despite having the same vacancy rate as number 20, the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria metro area has more than twice the number of people (5,900,000 vs. 2,700,000), so it’s higher up on the list.
18. Ogden-Clearfield, Utah (0.55% vacancy for residential properties)
17. Boston-Cambridge-Newton, Mass.-N.H. (0.54% vacancy for residential properties).
16. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, Calif. (0.54% vacancy for residential properties)
Though it has the same percentage as the previous pick, the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area has a population of more than 13 million, which is almost three times the size of number 17 on the list.
15. York-Hanover, Penn. (0.53% vacancy for residential properties)
14. Boise City, Idaho (0.52% vacancy for residential properties)
13. Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk, Conn. (0.48% vacancy for residential properties)
12. Green Bay, Wis. (0.47% vacancy for residential properties)

10. Austin-Round Rock, Texas (0.42% vacancy for residential properties)
9. Vallejo-Fairfield, Calif. (0.39% vacancy for residential properties)
8. Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, Ark.-Mo. (0.39% vacancy for residential properties)
7. Madison, Wis. (0.39% vacancy for residential properties)
Madison has the same vacancy rate for residential properties as the Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers metro area, but Madison has a higher population, so it took the number-seven spot.
6. Provo-Orem, Utah (0.34% vacancy for residential properties)
5. San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, Calif. (0.34% vacancy for residential properties)
The San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward metro area has the same vacancy percentage as the Provo-Orem metro area. However, when it comes to population, the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward has four million more people, so it takes the number-five spot.
4. Manchester-Nashua, N.H. (0.31% vacancy for residential properties)
3. Lancaster, Penn. (0.26% vacancy for residential properties)
2. Fort Collins, Colo. (0.24% vacancy for residential properties)
1. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif. (0.23% vacancy for residential properties)
Is it any surprise Silicon Valley made the number-one spot? If you’re looking for a home in the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara metro area, good luck finding anything—less than a quarter of a percent of properties are vacant.
Millennials may be slower to become homeowners compared to older generations, partly due to student loan debt and the higher cost of living in some areas. However, owning a home shouldn’t be a dream out of reach. Learn how you can become homeowners quicker in this RealEstate.com article by Casey Fleming.
According to a recent Pew Research Center report, millennials, as compared to previous generations at the same time in their lives, are significantly less likely to own their own homes. In 1982, for instance, 41 percent of boomer households owned their homes, and, in 1999, 40 percent of Generation Xers owned their homes. In 2016, however, only 35 percent of millennials owned their own homes.
We know that student loan debt, a tougher job market and a lower savings rate (you only live once, right?) have contributed to the problem and may make some millennials feel hopeless about owning their own homes. But it doesn’t have to be so.
First, you should know that buying a home for the first time has ALWAYS been hard. You may think that your parents had it easy when they bought their first home, which cost one-fourth of what homes cost today. But remember: Wages were much lower and interest rates were much higher then. The monthly cost of owning one’s first home has always been higher than renting, thus the dilemma. To buy your first home, you’ll need to make some sacrifices. But once you do, moving up is much easier.
The two most common barriers to buying are a lack of cash for a down payment and high debt load. If this describes you, keep reading.
Depending on your circumstances and the price range of the home you want to buy, you may need to increase your income, reduce your overall debt, reduce your monthly debt obligations, improve your credit or save more cash. Every prospective homeowner is different, so the right way to prepare to buy your first home depends on your situation. To know for sure, you must meet with a good mortgage advisor to get a clear baseline from which to work.
If this is what bugs you most, you have several solutions available:
