Raleigh Named One of the Healthiest Housing Markets for 2009
Raleigh, NC, March 12, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Ken Atkins, executive director for Wake County Economic Development (WCED) (www.raleigh-wake.org), has announced that Raleigh was named one of the healthiest housing markets of 2009 by Builder Magazine. The publication analyzed 75 housing markets across the country and ranked them based on their population trends, job growth – nearly five percent annually – home values and rate building permits. Raleigh was ranked sixth by the magazine with a total of 11,386 total building permits in 2008. The city also has one of the highest rates of population growth of any top metro market in the country over the last five years.
“We are excited that Raleigh has been named one of the healthiest housing markets for 2009,” Atkins said. “Several companies are looking at Wake County as a possible location for corporate expansion and relocation, and this recognition will provide site selectors with another incentive for moving here.”
