Here are the four statistics you'll want to consider when researching prospective markets:1) Job Growth2) Population Growth3) Migration4) Housing MarketAnd here are some relevant articles about Phoenix to save you some time:-- Phoenix leads US Counties in Job Growth, New Data Shows-- Phoenix leads the US in Population Growth, New Census Data Shows-- Phoenix is the #1 Migration Destination-- Phoenix is Expected to be Among the Top 5 Housing Markets in 2020I can practically guarantee none of the other markets you're considering are going to be as strong on all factors as the Phoenix metro area is.
