Best Markets For Real Estate

Now that the World Cup is behind us and hipsters everywhere can stop pretending that they like sports, we turn our attention to a game that Germany has never won – the Major League Baseball All-Star game.
The All-Star game is scheduled for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET in Minneapolis, and in honor of that ZIpRealty sent us this breakdown of the housing market all-stars – breaking them down by biggest hitters, best batting averages, and the lowest earned run averages.
ZipRealty surveyed real estate conditions among rival "teams" in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles County, Orange County, New York City, Long Island, Westchester County, San Francisco and Oakland, California.
“Baseball rivalries are heating up this time of year, so we wanted to see how these areas of the country − with major league teams representing the National League and American League − compare,” said Lanny Baker, CEO of ZipRealty. “But no matter where your allegiance lies, scoring a new home is easy when you search on our real estate apps and website. These tools, along with the guidance of a ZipRealty  real estate agent, can give you a jump on the competition, especially in such high-velocity housing markets.”
