Raleigh, N.C: # 1 Healthy Market to Buy

By
Home Builder with Standard Pacific Homes (Carolinas Division)

 

Builder Magazine recently ranked Raleigh NC as the number one healthy market to purchase a home in. The Raleigh area has seen an 85% increase in building permits over the last year.

 The 85 percent increase was by and large on the multifamily side; however, the single-family permits also increased as builders began to recognize better economic conditions.

 People are drawn to Raleigh because of its temperate climate and good employment prospects. The unemployment rate has fallen to 8.4% as jobs are being added to this diverse job market.

 Raleigh is absolutely an affordable place to live, work and play.
