Raleigh, NC, is listed as the 6th healthiest housing market in the U.S. for 2009 according to a recent article in Builder Magazine. This comes as no surprise. The Raleigh-Durham area consistently ranks in the top 10 best U.S. cities to live.
According to the article in Builder Magazine, they analyzed the top 75 housing markets in the country. The top 15 markets were listed in the article. Ten of the 15 are Southern cities, including Wilmington, N.C., (ranked 14) and Charlotte, N.C. (ranked 13). The article looked at population trends, job growth, home prices and number of building permits to determine the top markets. The article noted what the healthiest housing markets have in common, including close proximity to the ocean, mountains or major universities and no substantial increase in the price of homes. The Raleigh area has all these attractive qualities plus the four seasons, a comfortable climate, affordable cost of living and more.
