1211 - Buffalo Might Be the Hottest Market of 2024—Should You Invest? By Anna Cottrell

Buffalo, New York, will be 2024’s hottest housing market, according to a recent analysis by Zillow. While you may mainly know Buffalo as the place that regularly gets snowed in during the winter, it turns out that the city’s current combination of affordable homes, a thriving job market, and a multibillion-dollar federal regeneration project has produced market conditions every real estate investor should note. 

Zillow’s report uses several metrics to determine which housing markets are currently on the rise. In a nutshell, it looks at two of the most powerful draws for new residents—affordable home prices and the number of new jobs—and then zooms in on how these favorable conditions translate into moving patterns. Once it’s clear that people are actively moving to an area to buy homes and form households, you have yourself a perfect housing hot spot.
