Seattle is Hot Stuff!

The 2013 Milken Institute Best-Performing Cities Index ranks U.S. metropolitan areas by how well they are creating and sustaining jobs and economic growth. The components include job, wage and salary, and technology growth. These factors provide a good indication of the underlying structural performance of regional economics. 

This year, Seattle jumped seven spots in the ranking, from 13 to six. Seattle was noted for both its job growth and its wage growth.  

Seattle is a great market for real estate investment!

Seattle Great for Post Grads!

Another great reason to be bearish on Seattle:

NerdWallet recently published their list of top ten cities for recent graduates, and Seattle was ranked very highly at the number-two spot, landing behind Boston and ahead of Denver. The ranking was based on population of twenty-somethings, number of bars per 1,000 residents, walkability, affordability, and employment rates for each city. Seattle's vibrant social scene and good economy combine to make it an appealing place for recent graduates.
