The number of vacant homes in an area can greatly reflect the overall health of the local housing market and be an indicator of how easy it may be to buy or sell there, according to a new analysis from LendingTree, an online mortgage marketplace. LendingTree ranked the nation’s 50 largest metro areas from highest to lowest vacancy rates. The areas with higher vacancy rates tend to be more affordable to the average consumer. San Jose, Minneapolis and Denver are the metros with the lowest vacancy rates in the nation.
