The better you know the city: the schools, the areas with high crime, what’s becoming trendy, where the new developments are going and which malls are closing etc.... the easier it is to know whether a property is a good buy or not.Regarding what to look for in a market is sound fundamentals: a strong economy, jobs, population growth, jobs, new construction (but hopefully not outpacing demand), natural geography, climate, desirability, solid unemployment rates, jobs, high household incomes relative to home prices (affordability) and jobs, but mostly jobs.By those metrics I think Seattle looks good, minus the affordability factor.
