Summary

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. In This Episode We Cover Norada’s top real estate markets of 2025 (and whether we agree with them) 2025’s number-one real estate investing city that we are all extremely bullish on Criteria you can use to judge any real estate investing area (economy, housing supply, etc.) Why some of the top cities do NOT make good short-term rental markets One city that is currently struggling but has tremendous future potential And So Much More!

0:00.0	It's 2025 and everyone wants to know what is the best real estate market to invest in here in this new year.
0:15.4	You're probably seeing it on Yahoo or on whatever news source that you look at,
0:19.1	but there's all sorts of types of lists, hottest markets that are coming out. And today we're going to try and make sense of them.
0:25.6	Rather than actually doing our own analysis, we're going to be reviewing some analyses from
0:30.2	other providers, specifically from Nerata real estate investing. They've put out a list of
0:35.9	their top 10 real estate investing markets for
0:38.8	2025, and we are going to review them. To help me do that, I have two friends joining me today.
0:45.6	We have Austin Wolf, who's an analyst here at Bigger Pockets. He's been on the show a couple
0:49.6	times now. Austin, welcome back. Thank you. Happy to be here. Thanks for joining us. And we also have
0:54.5	Garrett Brown. Garrett, can you introduce yourself to the audience here? I'm super excited to be on.
1:00.9	I work at Bigger Pockets as the short-term rental expert in all things, short-term rentals here.
1:05.1	And super excited to talk about markets all day. It's great. So yeah, we were bringing in sort of
1:09.9	our internal expertise today. I do a lot
1:12.6	of work on market analysis. Austin is obsessed with a talks about all the time. And we needed some
1:18.1	input because obviously the best markets for long-term rentals, not necessarily the best markets for
1:23.3	short-term rentals. So we're pulling Garrett in. Thank you for joining us to lend us your expertise.
1:28.7	So let's jump into our list today. And we're going to first just maybe start a little bit by
1:34.7	understanding the criteria that went into this. So, Austin, I know you've looked at this,
1:40.5	critiqued it a little bit. Can you tell us how Nerada came up with their list
1:44.5	of the top 10 markets? How would you evaluate their criteria and how they're dredging these
1:49.5	markets before we jump into any other specific ones? Yeah, I really like most of the cities on this
1:54.4	list. I think that they've analyzed demand pretty well. These are very, very hot markets
