Posted by Monte Davis on Wednesday, September 15th, 2010 at 8:32am.Forbes blogger Francesca Levy, in her popular real estate column "Crib Notes," has named Austin one of her top picks for "best bet" housing markets for residential real estate investors. Specifically, Levy cited:
- strong pre-recession population growth,
- a slowing of home-price drops, and
- jobs weighted toward growth in areas like government and education.
