As a real estate agent and homeowner in the Raleigh/ Durham area, I know we have experienced a slow down during the recession, as everyone else has.
However, now there is some good news. On May 11, 2010 MainStreet.com has come out with a list of the top 20 cities in which to ride out the recession.
Washington DC is number one, and of course that has a lot to do with the federal government hiring again.
The great news for our area is that Durham NC came in as the 13th best city to ride out the recession, and Raleigh NC came in at number 17.
Durham is home to Research Triangle Park and their many pharmaceutical, research, and high tech companies. Now that these companies are starting to hire again, the economy is improving here.
Just down the road from Durham in Raleigh, the strong emphasis on higher education and service and technology industries are giving the Raleigh & Cary area a boost.
