Hard money lenders make Oregon real estate investment easy
Oregon continues to make headlines as one of the most favorable places to live in the U.S.
According to migration data studies made by Atlas Van Lines, the state ranked second in the nation for inbound moves from January 1 through December 15, 2016.
United Van Lines similarly lists Oregon as a top moving destination, placing the state third in the country for inbound moves in 2016 – a slight drop from the first place ranking it held the previous three years.
What makes Oregon so appealing?
Robust employment opportunities are noted as a major draw to those moving to the region. Oregon’s job growth rate of 3.3 percent was the second–largest in the country in 2016, just behind Washington State at 3.5 percent. According to Gail Krumenauer, senior economic analysist with the Oregon Employment Department, Oregon has consistently outpaced the national average job growth rate (just 1.6 percent last year) for the past four years.
Unemployment in the state dropped to 5 percent as of November 2016, down from 5.6 a year prior. And construction and professional and business services are among those job markets that experienced healthy growth.
