Rochester is the Best Place to Buy

The Rochester area is listed as the best place in the United States to purchase a home right now, according to Forbes.com.

The website of Forbes magazine cites several factors about Rochester, including proximity to colleges and universities, the affordability of homes, the unemployment picture compared to many parts of the nation, and the quality of local schools.
Forbes.com also quotes a recent study by the real estate website Zillow.com, which ranked the Rochester area the best place to buy a home in the U.S.

The Democrat and Chronicle, in a recent report on the region's real estate market, cited Rochester as one of the three most stable markets in the country among the 51 metro areas with populations over 1 million. That finding was based on home prices over the past 15 years. Oklahoma City and Pittsburgh were the other two.
Those cities also are at the top of the Forbes.com list. Rochester is No. 1, Pittsburgh is second and Oklahoma City fourth. Third is a much smaller community in upstate New York, Utica.
