Atlanta is hot. Georgia’s capital tops the National Association of Realtors’ list of markets to watch in 2023, based on 10 metrics, including housing affordability, employment conditions, and population growth. Among 179 metro areas analyzed by NAR, Atlanta alone met all 10.
“The Atlanta metro area continues to be more affordable than most areas across the country, with more than 20% of the renters able to afford to buy the typical home in the area,” noted the report released this past week. “The job market is robust, with many major tech companies from the West Coast opening offices, such as
Apple
Microsoft
and
Visa
As a result, the area experiences substantial migration gains and fast population growth.”
