Buying a first home is an important step in the life of every American family, as well as a very complex process in which a number of factors must be taken into account. Often, potential buyers begin searching for their dream homes and develop their wish lists without a realistic idea of market prices, interest rates, or even their eligibility for a mortgage.

Analysts WalletHub tried to simplify the selection process and compared 300 cities of different sizes on 23 key indicators of the attractiveness of the real estate market, affordability and quality of life, making a rating of US cities to buy a first home.

The first three positions as the best cities for acquiring a house were taken by the cities of Texas: McKinney, Frisco and Allen (each of them received a general mark above 68 points from the maximum 100).

At the same time in the top thirty cities for the purchase of the first house did not hit any locality in New York or California.

Most Californian cities were at the bottom of the list because of the high cost of living, which was unprofitable for property buyers and the poor quality of life in the state.

The last three lines took Oakland, Burkley and Santa Barbara (California), with a total score of less than 40 points from the 100 possible.

General results can be seen in the table.
