There is an example at the beginning(0).
Example:
0 According to Moody’s Economy, com, home prices in this area will increase nearly 9% annually in the next 10 years.
A
At the foot of the Adirondack Mountains of New York you’ll find Glens Falls. With attractions like Lake George just a short drive away, tourism has long played a key role in the local economy. But the area, which has about 130,000 residents, is also considered "catheter valley" because of its thriving medical device manufacturing industry. It has become a popular lower-cost alternative to nearby Saratoga County, N. Y., and a bedroom community for the state capital of Albany. Home prices in the area will increase by an average of more than 7 percent a year over the next ten years, Moody’s Economy. com projects.
B
Corvallis, a town of about 48,000 residents, is home to Oregon State University as well as numerous public agencies. About a third of the area’s workers are employed by the government. At the same time, the people of this university town have long possessed a creative, entrepreneurial spark. Corvallis has the highest number of patents per capita in the United States. Large companies like Hewlett-Packard and Samaritan Health Services are among the region’s leading private employers. Area home prices should increase an average of more than 5 percent annually over the next ten years, Moody’s Economy. com projects.
C
Founded in the early 1600s, Santa Fe, New Mexico, has a mix of history, art, and outdoor wonders that attracts more than one million visitors to the city annually. Santa Fe also boasts 300 days of sunshine a year. While tourism helps juice the local economy, the city’s favourable employment outlook is linked to its abundance of more stable government jobs. Moody’s Economy. com expects area home prices to increase by an average of more than 5 percent annually over the next ten years.
D
The neighbouring cities of Bremerton and Siverdale, Wash. , are located on the Kitsap Peninsula, a slip of land surrounded by more than 300 miles of coastline on Puget Sound. Although the Pacific Northwest greenery is enticing, it’s the area’s stable economy that should drive home price gains in the coming years. A large military presence—of the Navy in particular— helps insulate the local economy from volatility. Moody’s Economy. com expects home prices in this area to increase by an average of nearly 9 percent annually over the next ten years.
E
Although the recent financial turmoil has hurt, Charlotte, N. C. remains the nation’s second-leading banking centre and home to corporate giant Bank of America, says Bob Morgan, the president of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce. Charlotte’s low-cost, business-friendly climate and diverse economic base should help push home prices higher. Home prices in the Charlotte area should increase by an average of more than 3 percent annually over the next 10 years, Moody’s Economy.com projects.
This area is neighbouring to the Pacific Ocean.
