While many aspects of the economy have experienced downturns over the past few years, since the start of the pandemic, housing is one area where that is not the case.
Property values and prices have continued to rise at such a steady clip that some homebuyers have started to worry there is another housing bubble underway. While prices are starting to even out somewhat, it might seem like a tall order to find a place to live that has both affordable housing and good weather — but such places do exist.
GOBankingRates used data from Zillow and WeatherSpark to find 15 U.S. cities with populations greater than 150,000, home values below $300,000 and comfortable climates. Check out some of the most affordable cities to live in that have temperate weather year-round.
