Economic Growth and Job Market:The Lehigh Valley's economy has been growing, supported by diverse sectors like healthcare, education, and manufacturing.

. :(  I could have kept it as the home I bought in Napa Valley was a repo I got for 5k down in 91 deep recession NSo Jay here's the joke around the area ....in 1995 the joke is something like this 'You make 100k and you still can't buy house in silicon valley'.In 2010 the joke is ' you make 200k and still can't buy house in milpitas'in 2023 maybe the joke is 'you make 300k and still cant buy house in palo alto'.so what one should do is to make sure their spouse has to make 300k too, to be able to purchase house in palo alto LOL Life in tech city I think our buying power decline by generation over generation, the generation that was on top 10% tier in 1999, maybe able to purchase house in palo alto, but those older generation after two decades, is now belong to 30% top income group (no longer the top 10%), after Facebook/Google went to IPO decades ago, the new 20 years old is suddenly on the top 10%, they bring new money to area, acquiring house and houses, and so on...... so every generation is replaced by the new generation, in term of buying power.company like microsoft, facebook or google or apple stock is going to the roof, these company itself, represents the whole 30% of US Corporation market cap LOL , so we say that 5% employee of tech sector is literally occupyng 40% of the nation economy.

Yes, it is quite easy to predict areas where real estate will outperform it's sector.

Although it depends on location one thing that I have found is that in vacation and tourist areas many of the locals and individuals in the hospitality sector absolutely HATE Airbnb and other short term rentals. 

I specialize in the public sector and as such work with many assessors depts who do exactly what you are asking. 

I have found my work in the public sector to be incredibly rewarding over the years! 

There is a lot of new construction happening from the big developers, I'm wondering if anyone is having success in the fix and flip sector.

There are a lot of renovations going on all over Cleveland in multiple sectors not just housing.

Unless new companies move into the area and create jobs that require similar skills and pay similar wages, the only employment options available will be low-paying service sector jobs.
