A new article from USA Today highlights the cities that made the top spots on the “2015 U.S. Markets to Watch” list, part of the “Emerging Trends in Real Estate” report from the Urban Land Institute and PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
Industry experts say emerging housing markets are positioned to compete with major markets such as New York, Boston and Washington in 2015. With lower costs of living and better-than-average employment opportunities, these up-and-coming cities may be just the place to call home.
Houston, the fourth-most populous city in the country, earned the No. 1 spot on the list – based on an employment concentration in technology and energy that is greater than the national average.
Other cities on the “2015 U.S. Markets to Watch” list include Austin, San Francisco, Denver and Dallas/Fort Worth.
