A new WalletHub study found the best place to buy a home in the entire country is in North Texas.

The personal finance website ranked 300 cities based on the real estate market, affordability and economic environment.

Frisco tops the list.

The cities of Allen, McKinney, Austin, Denton and Richardson are also among the top 10 places to buy a home in the country, according to WalletHub's findings.

The incoming president of the Collin County Association of Realtors and owner of Acquisto Real Estate, Shana Acquisto says despite downward housing-related trends in other states, the local market is stable.

Acquisto also says there are several major factors helping Collin County attract more people and businesses.

"It's desirable for people. In the Collin County area, you have to think we have the Dallas Cowboys, we have the PGA. We have all these sporting opportunities, we have corporations moving to our area," Acquisto said.
