Mobile Alabama Top Ten Markets Set For Biggest Rise in 2011

Barbara Reeves — Mon, 23 May 2011 15:36:09 +0000

10 housing markets set for biggest rise in 2011

“Two different kinds of cities to see rebound in house sales; reasons include increase in jobs and lower real estate prices”

By Mary Beth Nevulis, HousingZone Contributing Editor

May 13, 2011

“Despite U.S. housing markets being generally dreary since 2008, there are a few promising patches across the country, according to 24/7 Wall St. Review . 24/7 Wall St. looked at data from Fiserve Case Shiller, which gathers and analyzes housing information, and compiled a list of ten markets that will rebound the most in 2011.

The list indicates that two kinds of real estate markets are on the rise: one that was generally stable, but was hurt by the recession; and one that will rise because lower housing costs are making it affordable for residents to buy a home for the first time in decades.

The twelve cities in which homes prices will increase the most in 2011 are divided into two categories. One comprises cities in the Northwest with mostly white populations, stable middle classes andone or two major industries that dominate employment. Some of these cities are removed from larger metropolises like Chicago or L.A., meaning they serve geographic areas that might stretch several hundred miles, making them business and agricultural hubs.

The second category of cities is composed of cities that have not been as economically prosperous, but have made the list because lower housing prices have changed the residents’ ability to purchase homes that were previously unaffordable.”

10. Great Falls, Montana
9. (three-way tie) – Cheyenne, Wyoming; Kennewick-Pasco-Richland, Washington; Myrtle Beach-Conway, South Carolina
8. Idaho Falls, Idaho
7. Bremerton-Silverdale, Washington
6. Grand Junction, Colorado
5. Bellingham, Washington
4. Spokane, Washington
3. Tacoma, Washington
2. Madera-Chowchilla, California

Mobile Alabama in Top Real Estate Markets to Improve in 2011

Barbara Reeves — Mon, 23 May 2011 15:07:05 +0000

Mobile Alabama Makes Ten Top Markets Slated to Improve in 2011

“Excerpt from 24/7 Wall Street article on the select RE markets that will be improving this year – and of course, our city is included!”

Mobile, Alabama

Projected Price Increase Through 2011: +8.4%

Unemployment Rate: 10.4%

Median Family Income: $50,800

Vacancy Rate: 11.1%

Drop From Peak: 23.6%

“Founded in 1702, Mobile is a major regional center for art, and features an opera, a ballet, and several art museums. The city has a long-standing, stable population, which will make room for an easier recovery than cities with migratory populations. Mobile is the largest city in the gulf region between St. Petersburg, Florida, and New Orleans. It saw some of the worst effects of both Hurricane Katrina and the BP Oil spill. As the impacts of both these disasters begin to subside, housing values have started to recover, and are projected to improve 8.4%, the fastest growth of any region in the country, by 2011. Home prices are projected to rise the following year an additional 7%, above the expected national average of 1.8%.”

There is a distinct way of living here that appeals to individuals and families who enjoy the finer things in life. Good food is the foundation of this state and reflects the melting pot of nationalities that live here. The influence from past settlers lives on in the flavors of the cuisine. Popular methods include Cajun, French, Spanish, African and Native American styles of cooking where herbs and spices are used to full effect to make the food succulent and sizzling. The agriculture, rivers and coast provide plenty of fresh resources. Many new residents find that nothing can compete with sitting in the warm sun, a cool drink in hand and tasting the river-to-table freshness of the local fish caught only that morning. Pure bliss.

The Metro Mobile area of Alabama is the oldest part of the state. Founded by French colonists in 1702, it is rich with history and heritage, including the oldest Mardi Gras in the whole of the United States, which date back to the 1800s and its colonial past. Located in the south-western tip of the state on the Mobile River and Mobile Bay, it is home to over 400,00 residents, who enjoy living on the Gulf of Mexico. Residents of Mobile are affectionately known as `Mobilians` and take great pride in their home town, especially its position as a leading cultural center. The Mobile Opera, Mobile Ballet company and the Mobile Symphony Orchestra are highly regarded arts organizations and perform several productions each year. For history and architecture lovers, the buildings and heritage in Mobile and throughout the state, will prove interesting and absorbing. Mobile Botanical Gardens and over 40 state parks add to this impressive array of facilities.

Whatever your budget or preference, relocating to Mobile, Alabama will open up a world of opportunities. Experience life with a distinctly Southern flavor and enjoy creating your own American Dream.Enjoy all the exciting adventures and happiness to come!

Rents May Go Up, Good Time to Buy A Home in Daphne, Fairhope, Mobile or the Mobile Metro Area?

Barbara Reeves — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 19:58:04 +0000

There is much talk in the real estate world about rents in the Mobile Metro area going up. The decrease in home ownership caused by the bursting of the nation’s housing bubble, combined with an increase in renters has put a big demand on rental markets in Daphne, Fairhope, Mobile or Mobile Metro areas. This demand is creating a competitive market that is allowing a climate for rents to increase.

This is a prime example of how owning a home can be more beneficial than renting in certain markets. Housing is more affordable than it has been in years in the majority of the United States. Mortgage rates are low, inventories are high, and home values are still falling. In areas where a monthly mortgage payment is the same or less than monthly rent, home ownership is a wise investment.

The National Association of Realtors has been hosting “Home Ownership Matters”, visiting cities across the nation and educating people on the values of home ownership. A staggering statistic that they show is that the majority of home owners have a net worth of more than 30 times that of renters.

The mere fact that rents can go up as much as 10%, whereas fixed rate mortgage rates stay the same, make buying a home in Daphne, Fairhope, Mobile or Spanish Fort in today’s market is smarter than renting, for those that can afford to buy a home. Rent is, in essence, paying someone else’s mortgage.
