Well I guess it is a good news when a major media site ranks you in the top 10 of anything. Last week CNN Money released its top 10 markets where a bounce back can be expected. I am not sure what the Mobile area is bouncing back from because it has been a really good market for home price appreciation since the fall of 2005. CNN Money has ranked Mobile in its top ten cities in the country. According to their web site, the housing market may be melting down in other parts of the country, but Business 2.0 worked with Moody's Economy.com to identify 10 cities that have just about hit rock bottom - and offer opportunities for savvy investors to get in while the getting's good.
The folks at CNN Money looked at expected home price appreciation rate in the first quarter of 2008 and the net gain of the expected home price apprectiation rate in the 4th quarter of 2009. Evidently Mobile came in at 7th in their rankings with an expected appreciation growth rate 4.7 percent.
The article does mention all of the new industry and business growth going on in Mobile and speculates that Mobile is the South's next boomtown.
