Columbus has a lot of young educated homeowners. Columbus has a growing population. The reference to people going to Minneapolis (and other cities) is from a Columbus Dispatch series about the seven large cities in Ohio. Columbus is one of 7 big cities in this state, the other six cities have lost population.

According to the Brookings Institute expert that was quoted part of the brain drain is to mid-west cities including Madison, Chicago and Minneapolis. We get a lot of young educated people from other Ohio cities in Ohio that come to Columbus.

Real estate is local.

Your use of “Minneapolis MLS Listing Agent” tripped the spam filter. Between the generic email address and the title my spam filter thought you were spam so I removed your link. I am opposed to helping mediocre web sites like yours that spam with generic comments for a link.

Maureen,

I enjoy your real estate blog. As a Minnesota real estate agent, I can vouch for the fact that Minneapolis is a haven for young educated homebuyers. Why would people leave good old Ohio to relocate to Minneapolis, anyway?

That is China Moon Crowells headline on her post Sandi, that’s why it’s in quotation marks.

There’s a discussion in the comments of how horrible, spammy and wrong that phrase is on the Zillow blog China posted AND on ActiveRain (members only) with Zillow people defending the bubbleheads comments.

Maureen- I love your opening thought: “please remember that real estate is local.” Chico is also enjoying a stable market, despite all the doom and gloom in the tabloids.
