Forget New York — millennials are flocking to 10 US cities to get a job, buy a home, and start a life

Trulia predicts several housing markets in Texas, including San Antonio and Austin, will heat up in 2018.

When it comes to homebuying, 2018 is going to be all about the South and the Midwest.

That's according to Trulia's latest housing report, which revealed 10 US housing markets it expects will grow next year while remaining affordable and attracting young buyers.

To determine the top 10, Trulia evaluated the 100 largest US housing markets on five metrics: job growth, vacancy rates, starter-home affordability, online listing searches, and the share of people living there under age 35.
