Share of buyers aged 35 and younger: 51% In recent years, Provo's cultivated a growing startup and tech scene. But despite all of the growth in this city situated between Utah Lake and snow-capped Provo Peak, it's still relatively affordable compared with other big tech destinations.
The price tag here might sound a little high, but homes go for a median $393,000 in Salt Lake City, about 45 minutes north of Provo. The typical down payment here is just 6%, a much lower barrier for younger buyers than other higher-priced cities.
Provo also boasts a down payment assistance program for first-time home buyers,which includes assistance of up to $10,000. The city makes them put down at least $1,000, and they must repay half of that amount if they sell the home within their first two years of ownership.

  • Percentage of home buyers aged 35 and younger
  • Percentage of typically more affordable homes under 2,000 square feet
  • Median down payment (the lower, the better)
  • Median mortgage borrower's FICO score (the lower, the better)
  • Percentage of income of those aged 35 and younger going toward median monthly housing costs
