Top 10 most affordable cities for home buyers

Good deals

Are you practicing in one of the top ten cities that Forbes has deemed to be the most affordable for home buyers?

In this downtrodden economy, there are people who have moved cities and used cost of living as an excuse to pack up and try somewhere new. Although it is not the mainstream method of searching for homes (reading Forbes and picking a new life), nor is it that simple, but it has happened to influence people in their decisions to move.

That said, we’d like to outline not only what Forbes chose as the top ten most affordable, we’d like to show you what you can get for $200,000 in each of these affordable cities.

10. Cincinnati, OH

9. Dayton, OH

8. Columbia, SC

7. Rochester, NY

6. Syracuse, NY

5. Oklahoma City, OK

4. Louisville, KY

3. Chattanooga, TN

2. Indianapolis, IN

1. Pittsburgh, PA

To find the affordability of American cities, Forbes looked at data from the National Association of Home Builders, U.S. Census Bureau and Local Market Monitor.
