Seattle: America's Most Stable Housing Market

According to Forbes Magazine Seattle has the most stable housing market in the nation.

Top 5 Cities
1. Seattle, Wa
2. Pittsburgh, Pa
3. Columbus, Ohio
4. Dallas, Texas
5. St. Louis, Mo.



"Nationwide, home prices are falling, sales are sluggish and the number of foreclosures is mounting. Ask any economist and you'll hear that things are bad, and likely to get worse.

Unless you live in Seattle, where the market is slowing but fundamentals remain strong.

The Emerald City has experienced strong price appreciation over the last six quarters, and that's expected to continue in the new year, though at a slower pace. In addition to a very low housing inventory and a strong sales rate, there are few non-conforming and high-risk loans on the books than in other cities, which means the area will likely see fewer defaults in the coming months than the rest of the country's markets."
