I came across this article in the REALTOR online magazine. It lists the top 10 cities for singles, and Seattle is noted as number 6. Hot-lanta (Atlanta) is listed as #1 and NYC is #8…. interesting.
Do you have any thoughts on who should have ranked in the top 10 that isn’t listed there already? I was a little surprised to not see Portland, but then again, I think fewer people have spent time there than Seattle.
I’m just curious, would this be a good marketing strategy? And why is REALTOR Magazine that worried about it if we can’t really talk about marital status in the local market place because of Fair Housing mandates? Yes, I’m being a little funny on this last bit, but it is interesting to see the article and then have to think about it in terms of what I can do with that information. As a seller, you can’t really talk or promote to a particular group but as an agent preparing general marketing of my services to various demographics, I could tout this as a reason why people relocate here or to focus on buyers from this demographic.
Regardless of the impact on real estate, I agree that Seattle should be in that top 10 list!
