Austin is better than ever!

Even in a tougher economy Austin is still outperforming many other areas of the country in job creation and other economic markers.

The Austin-Round Rock region ranks 4th among the country’s largest metropolitan areas on the Milken Institute and Greenstreet Real Estate Partners’ 2008 Best Performing Cities list. That’s a dramatic improvement from Austin’s 20th place ranking on last year’s list. The list ranks cities according to a series of matrices such as job creation and salary and technology growth.

Provo-Orem, Utah; Raleigh-Cary, N.C.; and Salt Lake City, Utah, were the top ranked cities on the list, in that order.

Among other Texas metro areas, the McAllen-Edinburgh-Mission region ranked No. 7 on the list followed by Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood at No. 13, San Antonio at No. 15, Houston at No. 16, and Dallas at No. 23.

Top 25 Appreciating U.S. Markets

In Austin, where the high-tech business has drawn a youth culture of working class professionals, the market still shows many signs of strength and should sustain that growth through the year. The state’s capital will see relatively healthy home sales carry it through what will be an otherwise tough year in many housing markets.

Austin will witness appreciation of 4.0%, mainly because of first time home buyers who want to get into their first home. This highly white-collar town will carry itself strongly through the credit crisis storm.
