Chicago #1 of Five Housing Markets on the Verge of a Tech Boom
Five Housing Markets on the Verge of a Tech Boom
The hottest housing markets have one determining factor in common: employment opportunities. Cities with jobs in growing fields draw incoming residents in droves—and none is more in-demand currently than technology.
A recent survey by Modis, an IT staffing services provider, identified the housing markets on set to be transformed by technology. The top 5:
1. Chicago
2. Houston
3. Boston
4. Denver
5. Philadelphia
Fifty-one percent of those surveyed ranked Chicago as the top tech hot spot of the future. The Windy City is likely to attract younger professionals who have worked in technology 5 years or less, according to the survey.
Houston and Boston ranked second and third, respectively, with 47 percent and 43 percent of the vote. Houston is likely to attract a range of professionals, from those who have not completed a college degree to those who have worked in technology for more than 10 years. Boston, like Chicago, is likely to attract younger professionals, aged 26-34.
Denver, which has seen home prices appreciate at an above-average rate since the recession, was ranked fourth at 36 percent. Philadelphia, at 31 percent, also made the top five.
Other up-and-coming technology-driven markets, according to the survey, include Dallas, Detroit and Omaha.
