Strong demographics and job growth are fueling investment, residential development throughout the metro area.

The Tampa/St. Petersburg/Clearwater market continues to track as one of the best in the country both for over economic opportunity and investment and homebuilding prospects, according to an annual presentation by the Urban Land Institute that features a survey by consulting giant PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC).  “Economic growth is the engine that drives real estate,” PwC Partner Mitch Roschelle and head of the consultant’s national real estate advisory practice told the ULI gathering. “When the economy is strong then demand is strong, investment is strong and the supply of capital is strong.”

2. Tampa Bay leads the state in high-income job growth fueled by a rise in finance and professional and business services employment.
3. Tampa Bay ranks as the eighth most popular city for in-migration nationwide with many relocations occurring from as nearby as Orlando and as far away as New York.
