Fort Wayne is now ranked as a Top 10 Emerging Housing Market across the country, and today I’ll explain why that is.

The index rates cities based on population growth, affordability, desirability, traffic, and the number of hits they get on Realtor.com. They put all this data together to create their top 10 list.
