Pennsylvania (Philadelphia) Housing Market

[Sean Buchner]

Hello, I recently finished my undergraduate degree in civil engineering and have 1 more year for my master's in structural engineering from University at Buffalo. I live on Long island but want to move for the first few years of my career to start by house hacking a few properties and don't see Long island as a favorable market. I have considered moving all the way to south Carolina (for housing market and weather) but I also want to consider places closer to long island so I can stay more connected with my family and friends. PA looks like a good option, I wanted to se if anyone has any insights into this market and knows any good agents who could set me up on the mls. I still have to find a job but want to relocate based off of real estate market but also I love structural engineering (and I am top of my class) so I want to work at a good, well known company (larger cities like NYC and Philly.
