What can you find at the intersection between job growth and the point when a buyer breaks even on a home purchase? It’s what Zillow calls the homeowner’s sweet spot, and according to the Seattle-based research firm, San Antonio’s residential market lands squarely in the middle of it, ranked No. 1.
San Antonio is one of the best markets in the country when it comes to owning a home due to its strengthening labor market and short “breakeven horizon” — how long home buyers need to stay in a home before buying it makes more financial sense than renting.
