Texas is home to the top two real estate markets in 2024, according to WalletHub.

The online publication ranked the best real estate markets in the US, and McKinney was placed at No. 1 followed by Frisco at No. 2. Additionally, the cities were ranked for their affordability and economic environment. Here, we saw Frisco ranked No. 1 and McKinney ranked No. 3.

Other Texas markets in the top 10 include Denton (No. 8) and Allen (No. 9). Allen also swooped into the top 10 for affordability, taking the No. 6 slot. Both cities took the top slots for the small market category as well.
