Will these cities become the best real estate markets of 2025? Norada Real Estate Investments, a turnkey real estate provider, thinks so. So today, we brought back data analyst Austin Wolff and short-term rental expert Garrett Brown to give their takes on the markets Norada is calling some of the hottest for this year. Some make complete sense to us, but we’re a bit cautious of others. That being said, the number one market on the list is one we can ALL agree with.
Austin and Garrett are on today to give both a long-term and short-term rental perspective. Some of these cities show tremendous economic growth, but will that be enough for an Airbnb to succeed in the area? Could stricter short-term regulations make long-term rentals a better option in these cities? We’re diving into each of the top five cities and giving our thoughts on which investments will work, which won’t, and whether we’d buy there.
Plus, the number one market on the list is getting us all very excited. With massive economic upside and fundamentals that make it great for long- and short-term rentals, this is one market every investor should watch closely—or even consider buying in.
