Deals are Sweeter in the South
For the handful of boutique real estate investors still braving the market turbulence (and making bank because of it!), a new report by Agent Advice shows the top 10 cities with the best ROI potential for investors all have one thing in common—they’re concentrated in the South. The report, which ranks market potential based on factors like annual home price growth, population growth, and income growth, noted that property taxes and insurance increases are the biggest threats to real estate investing right now, but that home prices are dropping in the South, giving investors new opportunities to capitalize.
By the numbers:
-
Miami topped the list as the best city for real estate investors, thanks to its high annual price growth and high income rates.
-
Phoenix leads in annual price growth for one-bedroom units, with an impressive increase of 11.5% YoY on these small properties.
-
Despite other cooling factors, Nashville ranked as the city with the highest personal income growth, an early indicator of increased buying activity, with an annual rate of 5%.
Check out the full report and see if your city made the list here.
