This is good news for home buyers, sellers and investors alike.

For Buyers, knowing that you are buying in a low crime area is always good. The word Affordable is always nice too.

For Sellers, it is always nice to have national publications like Business Week promoting your neighborhood. Anything that drives market traffic to you is a good thing.

For Investors, it is good to know that they have chosen an area that is likely to see growth.
