Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-12-15 14:41:12
In a affix titled “Please remember that Real Estate is LOCAL” China idle Crowell a real estate agent from the Madison Wisconsin area pointed out a New York Times bind that I missed. I missed the article in “The Nation” because it failed to have in mind Columbus Ohio among the college towns.
OK Columbus is a bit big to call a college town but Coldwell Banker referred to Columbus as a college town measure year. OSU is super sized… maybe that makes Columbus a super sized college town…Or just Columbus coat as the 15th largest US city.
Of cover Columbus Ohio would not be mentioned in this New York Times article was about small cities:
Bruce Katz with the Brookings Institution (Katz loomed large in the recent Columbus send bind about Ohio’s big cities….) is quoted in the New York Times article:
“Where subprimes are turning up is in hot markets but also in places like Cleveland and Detroit,” Mr. Katz said. “College towns are more stable places in some respects. If you make between $75,000 and $125,000 in these places you can get into a pretty decent home and still have very reasonable ratios.”
In one of the audio comments in the Columbus Dispatch series Katz talked about the Ohio Brain Drain and mentioned Madison Wisconsin as a hot place for young educated people. He said Ohio’s cities are losing young educated populate to cities in the southwest and southeast US and then mentioned Chicago. Minneapolis and Madison.
according to Forbes com and Moody’s Economy com I think that chew over / article looked at bigger cities so you won’t see the Madison. State College PA. Iowa City size cities on that enumerate.
How expensive is Columbus in comparison to the small cities that the New York Times wrote about… this is measure year. 2006 info from the Coldwell Banker delay bind if you be to see how we compared to other college towns like Ann Arbor MI. Evanston IL use the link above to Discover Columbus:
“Columbus. Ohio home to roll Series Championship leader Ohio express University was be 62 on the affordability ranking at $251,364 approximately $108,000 less than the national average of $359,779 for the 119 studied college markets.
That is China idle Crowells headline on her post Sandi that’s why it’s in quotation marks.
There’s a discussion in the comments of how horrible spammy and do by that evince is on the Zillow blog China posted AND on ActiveRain (members only) with Zillow populate defending the bubbleheads comments.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
