Where tech jobs go, home price appreciation follows. We’ve seen it happen in San Francisco, Raleigh, and Seattle, but where else are STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) jobs starting to take off? Austin Wolff, our "On the Market" data scientist, has uncovered even more metro areas that could see a steady stream of tech jobs and, by proxy, home price appreciation.
Austin filtered out small cities and those with irregular growth to identify real estate markets primed for appreciation driven by tech job growth. Some of these markets are overlooked by investors who assume the appreciation has already hit its peak, others are just getting started in their home price climb, and a few markets are still relatively affordable.
Higher-paying tech jobs also tend to mean higher rent prices, so putting your money in some of these top markets could be a phenomenal long-term play, especially since most investors don’t even consider them.
