They ranked Dadeville in the top 12 nationally. I only skimmed it, but their methodology sounds stupid. They looked at home price appreciation of the nearest metropolitan area (Auburn-Opelika), found it below the national average while employment growth is above the national average. Then they said, look, there is a lake nearby in Dadeville, sounds like a fun spot for a vacation home. Sounds to me like they proved Auburn is still a good place to live, but are they so stupid as to think housing prices in Auburn are an indicator of prices on the lake in Dadeville?
