Most parents make home buying decision around kids:

A recent survey by Coldwell Banker Real Estate found that 79% of Millennial parents (between 18 and 34) and 70% of Gen X parents (between 35 and 49) make major purchasing decisions around
their children, stating that they are more concerned about the immediate impact of a move on the emotional well-being of their children than whether moving is a good decision.

Where the jobs are...

As Realtors we know how important a role a robust job market plays in driving home sales.  So which big cities feature the strongest job markets?

Forbes magazine ranked the top big cities for projected job growth in 2014 based on several factors:
- current growth of employment rates,
- mid-term growth (the average annual rate from 2008-2013);
- long-term trends;
- and a 10-year average.

Three of the top-ranking cities are in Texas, while two are in California.

Top 10 cities:

2- San Francisco-San Mateo-Redwood City, California,
