Panama City, Florida was Recently Named by CNN Money as one of the "Top 10 Cities: Where to Buy Now"

Panama City, FL (PRWEB) November 8, 2006 -- Panama City, located in the northwest Florida panhandle, was recently named by CNN Money as one of the "Top 10 Cities: Where to Buy Now." According to the magazine Business 2.0, Panama City, Florida was selected as the #1 place to buy real estate and has a predicted real estate appreciation of 72% over the next five years. One of the major reasons Panama City was chosen at the top of the list is the relocation of the Panama City-Bay International Airport to West Bay. The airport's rebuilding and restructuring will increase its capacity and make it easier to travel to Panama City.
