Seattle Ranked #2 Best City For the Next Decade (Kiplinger Magazine)

Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine just announced it’s “10 Best Cities for the Next Decade“. This is yet another great example of why Seattle is such a great place to live and invest in real estate. We, and by we I mean Seattle, have such a wide variety of great worldwide companies to work for (Boeing, Amazon.com, Starbucks, Microsoft, etc), that our local economy (and in turn our housing market) will stay strong for years to come. When you couple interest rates being at their lowest point of the year right now (in the 4.75-5% range!), and the anticipated slowdown/short term price adjustments in sellers minds due to the decrease in market activity now that the first time homebuyers credit has expired, this is a really good time to find a real estate deal in Seattle.

From the article:

…this sophisticated Pacific Rim city has other qualities to recommend it, including great food, a glorious setting, an outdoorsy culture, enough rain to keep the locals’ complexions looking dewy — and, yeah, plenty of smart people.

Here you can watch a quick video from the article talking about how awesome Seattle is. I love this city!
