News Big Builder: Atlanta will lead housing market recovery
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Tue, Jul 8, 2008 at 6:38 PM
The financial-services giant UBS released a report last month that says Atlanta is one of the five cities it expects to lead the national housing market's recovery.
From Big Builder magazine, a trade publication for home builders:
In a new Q-Series report released this morning, UBS analysts David Goldberg and Alexander Goldfarb selected Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Dallas/Ft. Worth, and Houston as their top picks for markets that will lead in a housing recovery.The outlook for those five markets was optimistic because they exhibited stronger positive trends in demographics, economic growth, affordability, and inventory than the other eight markets examined.
Translation: People with jobs keep moving here and they need places to live.
Thanks for the good news, Big Builder. You have officially displaced Hay & Forage Grower as my favorite industry trade publication.

dislikeWaste Age was the original punchline for that joke. Until I saw the options on this page. http://penton.com/Market/Agriculture.aspx
I worked as a summer intern at Access Control and Security Systems, an industrial and commercial security trade magazine, which was located in the same office as Waste Age. Really cool folks. If I recall correctly, AC&SS was originally called Fence Age before the advent of biometric scanners and scan-card technology forced them to broaden the editorial scope. It was an entire magazine about fences. Incredible. God bless our trade magazines.
Taxidermist Weekly was awesome until they went twice a month. So many stories to be told in that industry -- so much innovation -- and they just fell through the cracks, man.
