2014年美國值得關(guān)注的5大住宅市場
????北卡羅來納州羅利 ????這個城市是Red Hat、Etix等科技公司的總部所在地,還擁有杜克大學(xué)(Duke University)和北卡羅來納州大學(xué)(University of North Carolina)等數(shù)家知名大學(xué)。這座城市比大多數(shù)美國城市都更從容地度過了上一次經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退,而且正如城市研究理論家理查德?佛羅里達(dá)指出的那樣,經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退之后的幾年來,很多人涌入了這個城市。羅利在2009-2012年人口增長最迅速的十大大都市地區(qū)中位列第二名。期間,這個地區(qū)的人口年化增長率為2.3%,僅次于得克薩斯州奧斯汀2.92%的增幅。Trulia的數(shù)據(jù)顯示,羅利在售房屋半數(shù)以上(69%)在中等收入美國人的承受范圍之內(nèi)。 |
????Raleigh, N.C. ????The city is home to tech firms, including Red Hat (RHT) and Etix, as well as several prestigious universities, from Duke University to the University of North Carolina. It rode out the Great Recession better than most other U.S. cities, and as urban studies theorist Richard Florida points out, many flocked to the city in the years following the recession. Raleigh ranks second among the top 10 largest metros with the biggest population growth between 2009 and 2012. During that period, its population grew at an annualized rate of 2.3%, just below Austin, Texas, which grew by 2.92%. More than half (69%) of homes for sale in Raleigh are affordable to middle-income Americans, according to Trulia. |
