With all the negative press about the housing market, it's nice to hear some good news for a change. Below are CNN's Top 10 Fastest Growing Metropolitan Areas. It's interesting that 4 out of 10 of the fastest growing areas are in Texas.
Dallas: Fort Worth, Arlington – Texas 162,250
Atlanta: Sandy Springs, Marietta – Georgia 151,063
Phoenix: Mesa, Scottsdale – Arizona 132,513
Houston: Sugar Land, Baytown – Texas 120,544
Riverside: San Bernardino, Ontario – California 86,660
Charlotte: Gastonia, Concord – North Carolina 66,724
Chicago: Naperville, Joliet – Illinois 66,231
Austin: Round Rock – Texas 65,880
Las Vegas: Paradise – Nevada 59,165
San Antonio – Texas 53,925
My Take
Good news is always welcomed... However, I am curious to know why CNN used data from July 1, 2006 to July 1, 2007 for an article that was published just a few days ago. I also wonder what the results would have been had they chosen more recent dates, for example Feb 1, 2007 to Feb 1, 2008.
