The top 10 cities where Millennials are buying homes include St. Louis, Mo., Boise City, Idaho, Baton Rouge, La., and Scranton-Wilkes-Barre-Hazleton, Pa.

Home buying among Millennials slowed from 39.5 percent in 2005 to 32.1 percent in 2015, but ABODO notes that recently more Millennials have been entering the market.
