ColumbusMore good news about Columbus! Recently, we shared Money magazine’s rating of Columbus as the Best Big City in the Midwest. Word must have traveled fast, because now Columbus is named as the top city to watch for real estate growth, nationwide! Here’s some details from the Columbus Dispatch, along with our own insights.

Each year, PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Urban Land Institute publish the “Emerging Trends in Real Estate” report. This includes a list of top cities to watch for real estate growth. The list is compiled from interviews with 500 real estate professionals around the country.

The list is subjective, and the “top cities” are a matter of professional opinion. However, the report has been reliably produced for 38 years, and has proven fairly accurate at naming up-and-coming markets.

The advantages attributed to the Columbus real estate market include strong job growth, abundant educational opportunities, and perhaps most interesting of all, a “hip” factor. Namely, there’s a vitality in our city’s economy and culture that attracts Millennials, entrepreneurs, artisans and corporate headquarters.

At the same time, Columbus offers affordable homes, a low cost of doing business, and a reasonable cost of living. The excellent combination of opportunity, diversity and affordability puts Columbus at the top of the rankings.

Here are the Top 5 Real Estate Markets to Watch:

  • Columbus
  • Richmond
  • Pittsburgh
  • Charleston
  • Salt Lake City
