Buffalo- a city that sits on New York’s western border with Canada has been named the hottest housing market for 2025, according to a new report from Zillow. This recognition comes as the city grapples with a growing gap between housing demand and supply.

Hartford, Conn., was also forecasted to be among the top markets by the real estate listing website, but Boston ranked 16th among the 50 metro areas compared.

With steep competition to find a home in the new year, these cities offer affordable options for buyers in the housing market.
