Dallas, TX. Portland, Or. and Nashville, TN. Were named the 3 Hottest real estate markets in 2018.. It's interesting seeing Portland on a lot of these list lately as well. It looks to be booming and on the come up on the west coast as well

Uhhh, Portland is the prototype for the modern "cool cities" club and was topping a lot of these lists when they first became a thing. I'm not surprised to see it top this list, being the closest major city to Seattle which has gotten much more expensive over the past couple years.

I can see this, especially with respect to location to Seattle and California cities...

One can argue Atlanta is having a similar effect on Nashville.
The sad part is Nashville's housing is slightly more expensive than Atlanta now. It's ridiculous.
Thing is, Atlanta is so much larger in area and thus has a lot more "undesirable" areas that hold down the overall median home values.
If you do an apples to apples comparison of Nashville's favored quarter with Atlanta's favored quarter (Alpharetta vs. Franklin for example), Nashville is still the better value.
But on the other hand, if you're content with living in some place like McDonough, Union City, Lithonia or Jonesboro just to say you live in "Atlanta," then yeah it's still a pretty good value.

Right, rental costs in Atlanta are probably very comparable to Nashville in the more desirable areas, which are actually becoming more widespread. The new apartments that have opened in Smyrna/Vinings are fetching nearly Buckhead rental rates. Atlanta is really no longer a bargain, and those affordable places you mentioned would offer miserable commutes to most job centers in Atlanta.
