Two Virginia cities make top 10 list of places to buy

VA Beach is the #1 place in VA to buy a home! But don't forget to check out the rest of Southside & the Peninsula too. There are lots of great homes in all of Hampton Roads. Zillow states that cities with military bases [and] a strong tourism industry are more "recession proof." This certainly describes VB and all of Hampton Roads -

Over 15,000 highly-skilled workers exit the military in Hampton Roads each year and the region is home to over 70,000 university and community college students. The military, manufacturing, the Port of Virginia, high technology, and tourism are major drivers in Hampton Roads’ $54 billion economy. The military has long been a mainstay of the Hampton Roads economy, and today the region boasts the largest concentration of military personnel in the nation, with forces stationed at such critical defense facilities as Naval Station Norfolk (the largest naval facility in the world), Langley Air Force Base, Oceana Naval Air Station, Little Creek Amphibious Base, Fort Eustis, Fort Monroe, and Fort Story, and more. Total military and civilian defense-related employment in Hampton Roads surpasses 111,000.

The article says that state capitols and college towns are also more "recession proof." This explains Richmond - VA's state capitol's - appearance. Richmond & Hampton Roads also have a good number of colleges, including University of Richmond, VCU & MCV, and VA State U. in Richmond and William & Mary, Hampton U., CNU, Norfolk State, & VA Wesleyan in the Hampton Roads area.

Two Virginia cities make top 10 list of places to buy
by Ben Martin, blogmaster emeritus on August 11, 2009

Good Morning America cited data from Zillow this morning which heralded Virginia Beach as the number one place, and Richmond as the number seven place, to buy a home right now.

When buying a home, according to Zillow, buyers should “look for communities with a strong job market and stable housing values. Some common threads: cities with military bases, state capitals and college towns all fare well because they are more ‘recession proof.’”

Here’s what Zillow is seeing…

In Virginia Beach:

• Median home value: $223,800, down 1 percent from a year ago.
• Property values are up 7 percent compared to five years ago.
• Houses cost an average of $139 per square foot.
• Buyers are paying 2 percent less than the listing price.

In Richmond:

• Median Home Value: $ 207,000, down 7 percent from a year ago.
• Property values are up 5 percent compared to five years ago.
• Houses cost an average of $119 per square foot.
• Buyers are paying 3 percent less than listing price.

Every Region in the Country Has a City on the List

When you go to buy a house, a market with cheap prices is not the only factor you should consider. Rather, look for communities with a strong job market and stable housing values. Some common threads: cities with military bases, state capitals and college towns all fare well because they are more "recession proof," according to Zillow, an online real estate company. A strong tourism industry helps, too.
