Atlanta, Georgia Named One of Ten Best Places for Business and Careers

Atlanta, Georgia was just named one of the top ten Best Places for Business and Careers, according to Forbes.com.

The Southeast holds half of the top ten spots, and Atlanta made the jump from #25 last year to #6 for this year, benefitting "from strong job and income growth and a big reduction in crime."

Cities were judged on criteria such as "solid job growth, an educated labor supply and low business costs," as well as "stats on crime, educational attainment, presence of four-year colleges and an index on cultural and recreational opportunities."

Six of the ten cities are capital cities.

What does this mean for Atlanta real estate? Atlanta is still a strong market, the fourth strongest, according to the National Association of HomeBuilders. As more and more business continue to relocate to the Atlanta area, it can only mean positive things for the real estate market. Though we have seen a dip in the market recently, it has not been nearly the catastrophe that other markets around the country have seen.
