Corvallis, Oregon
We loved the recent US News and World Report piece about the top 10 housing markets set to appreciate over the next decade. Corvallis was #4 on the list. “In the long run — subtracting from the ups and downs of the business cycle — house prices should grow at the rate of household income,” says mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Economy.com.
Says US News…”With about 48,000 residents, Corvallis is nestled in the natural splendor of Oregon. Since it is home to Oregon State University as well as numerous public agencies, about a third of the area’s workers are employed by the government, says Mysty Rusk, the president of the Corvallis-Benton Chamber Coalition. At the same time, this intellectually curious university town has long possessed a creative, entrepreneurial spark.”
