Most affordable neighborhoods in the largest US cities

Rents remain low in some pockets of these big cities

The coming year may be a painful one in the housing market, but that doesn’t mean Americans looking to move won’t be able to find a deal.

Home prices in November rose 3.7 percent, according to data released by CoreLogic on Tuesday. Through November, researchers expect prices will rise by 5.3 percent, which means affordability is likely to remain a concern for prospective first-time buyers.

“The latest U.S. index shows that the slowdown in home prices we saw in early 2019 ended by late summer,” CoreLogic chief economist Frank Nothaft said in a statement. “Growth in the U.S. index quickened in November and posted the largest 12-month gain since February.”

As previously reported by FOX Business, experts have said 2020 may be a particularly challenging year for homebuyers considering the total number of homes for sale could hit a record low.

But there are some neighborhoods in the nation’s largest metro areas where shoppers can still find a deal. A new report from Realtor.com and rental site Jumper looked at the top ten largest cities to locate the most affordable options for renters.
