From back in June...

If the markets so good here, why can't I sell my very nice house in the best neighborhood in town (across the street from baci)?

As a Realtor it is good to see this news for our city.  The only problem I have with this story(and US News & World Report) is that they don't give any reasoning for their choice.  

Where is the data to back up this list?

I find geo marketing of singles ads to be a little creepy, even more creepy when you see that on sites like facebook they target stuff to your gender, family status, age, even religious/spiritual affiliation.  When people say these sites are free, they mean we don't pay out in money, but we do pay out in "data" which includes privacy.  

BUT, I don't think this one is geo marketing.  Not even the ads at the bottom of the article.  If you follow the link/address here

You will see that the Duluth pic is on "pg=1" and the ads correspond, click forward or back and you get different ads.  Further, I think that people in other markets truly are dumbfounded at the quality of housing here, the large variety available, and the fact that no one is buying.  

This prediction could be true if Duluth builds in enough or attracts enough employers in the moderate to high wage paying business/industrial/fill-in-the-blank sectors over the next generation.  Otherwise we might be sitting on a housing glut for some time if no one can afford even a "really good deal" on a house or condo.

Yes, I don't believe this was geotargeted. It's the article that appeared to everyone - they're not THAT slick, and Duluth did indeed show up on the list in question.

I'll take my house going up by $50k over the next 10 years, sure. Not astronomical, it sounds realistic and sustainable!

This would be a great housing market if we had a more favorable job and business climate. More investment in tourism would help the housing marketing, too.

Where you moving to DavidS?
