I am going to upload some articles that I have kept over the years about population. Rule One in real estate: always consider the changing demographic as to the impact of the future value of real estate.

For instance, farm land in Wheaton is going up, but the demographic is going down. Houses in Wheaton…probably going down in value. Most of the towns on the western front will be losing people as the farming economy has changed the way in which business is done. One man now does the work of what 50 men or even 100 men did 100 years ago when those towns were built. There is far less need for the town as its economy was built on local farmers…which there are a far lot less of today.

Alexandria, on the other hand…positive growth right through the cataclysmic change of the agricultural markets that surround us.

I have a bunch of stuff on this…keep an eye out for more.
