Shopping for a home can be challenging, but looking for one in a real estate market that’s more favorable to buyers can help ease that pain. 

Realtor.com reported Monday that a handful of cities stood out in May as being the most “buyer-friendly,” offering ample inventory and plenty of homes with reduced prices. 

Cities in seven different states, all in the South or West, made up the ten metro areas that host housing markets most favorable for buyers, per the report. 

THESE CITIES ARE PRIME AREAS TO RENT FOR RECENT COLLEGE GRADUATES

According to Realtor.com, these are five of the ten most “buyer-friendly” areas:

Phoenix, Arizona

Phoenix, where over 1.67 million people live, is the capital of the Grand Canyon State. Of the properties that the market had up for sale in May, 31.3% carried a reduction in price, a percentage higher than any of the other cities in the top-10,  per Realtor.com. The number of active listings in Phoenix posted a 23.1% year-over-year jump last month. 

Tampa, Florida

Homes in Tampa took 60 days to sell and sought a median price of $417,500. Roughly 29.9% of its listings in May had experienced a price cut, the real estate marketplace reported.

Denver, Colorado

Jacksonville, Florida

In May, the northeastern Florida city of Jackson posted a 31.2% increase in active listings from a year ago, per Realtor.com. Roughly 28.8% of homes in the area featured a price reduction. The median $405,000 that homes on the market sought in May was only beat by one other city included in Realtor.com’s top-10.

The other metro areas in the top-10 included Charleston, South Carolina; Salt Lake City, Utah; Dallas, Texas; Palm Bay, Florida; and Portland, Oregon, according to Realtor.com.

HOME SELLERS FACE HARSH NEW REALITY AS LISTINGS HIT RECORD $696B VALUE

Nationwide, the U.S. had over 1 million homes on the market in May, a level that the U.S. hadn’t climbed above since the winter of 2019, a separate report released earlier in the month by the real estate marketplace found. 

Prices had been reduced on 19.1% of homes up for sale across the country last month, according to Realtor.com.

U.S. home sellers sought a median price of $440,000 in May, marking a 2% increase from the prior month and a 0.1% lift from a year ago.
