Forbes has recently released their list for the hottest housing markets to invest in for 2017. Seattle has landed in the number 4 position on this list, behind Dallas, TX, Jacksonville, FL, and Orland, FL. With Seattle housing prices rising a dramatic 12% in the last year alone, the city is poised as a fantastic investment opportunity for buyers. While the current average home price sits at 419k, the second highest in the nation with the national average hovering around $268k, the projected 3-year price growth forecast of 26% means that Seattle is still offering fantastic investment opportunities for buyers.
