A new article from Forbes explains why now might be a good time to think about buying housing to hold for the long-term, highlighting 20 cities that are their selections for the top 20 housing markets to invest in this year.
Each of Forbes’ Best Buy Cities has strong population and jobs growth, and relatively low home prices. The cities on the list are places where opportunities are increasing – and so are their populations.
Given strong economic engines like the energy industry in Houston and the vibrant tech scene in Austin, it’s not too surprising that Texas is the state with the most Best Buy cities – five, or 25% of the list. Number one ranked Austin is followed by Houston (No. 3), Dallas (No. 5), San Antonio (No. 6) and Fort Worth (No. 10).
Other cities on the list include Orlando, Denver, Phoenix, Atlanta, West Palm Beach, Jacksonville, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Tacoma and Sacramento.
