As millennials secure stable post-recession jobs, they are flocking to the Midwest—particularly Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Indiana—to purchase homes. Low inventory and high demand have created a seller’s market in almost every region across the three states. Sellers have even reported getting multiple offers without having to negotiate.

According to Ellie Mae’s most recent Millennial Tracker for March, millennial homebuyers are moving to the Midwest. Homes in Midwestern states have proven to be more affordable, and Mount Vernon, Illinois was the most popular metropolitan area for homes purchased by millennial buyers. Other popular cities for millennials included Midland, Texas and Odessa, Texas.
