"Health". "A.I." "Power". These are the three themes most interesting to the wealthiest and most influential investors around the globe. Each theme poses the most potential for innovation, growth.....and value escalation.

Why is this important to real estate? Any area that has an infrastructure to support the growth of these three segments of our economy are bound to fare extremely well over the next few decades, delivering outstanding career opportunities as well as the many other opportunities that come with growing industries. Seeking the talent to staff these enterprises will be a big challenge as they require advanced knowledge, education and talent.  Areas that have the kind of colleges equipped to train the talent needed for these industries are bound to attract investment. Areas that have tax policies to attract companies seeking to maximize profits will also fare well. And quality housing, both for sale and for rent.

People who are employed with solid-paying jobs are always good for real estate: however, an affordable house in the middle of nowhere cannot cater to essential needs like good schooling, safety and security, outstanding healthcare, daycare, restaurants, shops, cultural attractions, sporting facilities, entertainment, quality infrastructure (power, water), attractive environment, parks, etc, etc.  The people who will be attracted to these jobs and qualify for them will have lots of options: they will care as much about the job and the pay as they care about quality of life issues like stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure, etc. So go ahead.....be H.A.P.py: Gauge all of these when seeking future opportunities and upside!
