We’re In The National Spotlight! A recent Forbes.com article sighted that Phoenix was one of the best cities to buy a home. “While the majority of the nation’s housing markets are still working toward a bottom, some cities are boasting fundamentals that make them good places to buy a home now.” In addition to Phoenix, the article also sighted Los Angeles, Denver, Boston and San Diego. How did Forbes.com determine that Phoenix was a best place to buy now? The article says, “First, we examined the number of ZIP codes with 25% of the area’s sales to determine those in which activity is most evenly distributed. Next, we examined increase and decrease in price per square footage to determine where market value is the highest. Last, we looked at transaction rates in each city to determine where the housing markets are most active. We scored each city by category, and then combined the scores to determine the final ranking.” _________________________________________________________
