The real estate market has had quite the year. In June, a report showed that the average home was up 13.5% over the previous year.

For those lucky enough to have extra cash or can afford to sell their home and move, buying and selling a home right now is a huge opportunity. The chance to score huge in real estate is better in ten specific cities in the United States.

So what are the hottest real estate markets in the U.S.? WalletHub has the answer.

To determine the best hottest real estate markets in the U.S., WalletHub compared 300 cities of varying sizes across 18 key housing-market attractiveness and economic strength indicators. The data set ranges from median home-price appreciation to job growth.

Explains the website, “If you aim for long-term growth, equity, and profit, you’ll need to look beyond tangible factors like square footage and style. Those factors certainly drive up property values. From an investor’s standpoint, though, they hold less significance than historical market trends and the economic health of residents.”

After crunching the data, the finance website figured out their top ten list.

According to WalletHub, these ten cities are the hottest real estate markets in the U.S. for 2021.

1. Frisco, TX
2. Austin, TX
3. Gilbert, AZ
4. McKinney, TX
5. Denton, TX
6. Allen, TX
7. Durham, NC
8. Reno, NV
9. Roseville, CA
