What would be the best cities to buy real estate in? Boy, wouldn't we all love to know the answers to those questions! Considering this is, by far, the worst, and longest lasting, downturn in the real estate market I have seen in my 33 years in the biz, and, last week, Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of REALTORS, called this a "very strange" market since the market was not reacting to low interest rates and high affordability, I think it is tough for anyone to predict what is going to happen. Having said that, Inman News came out with a list of 10 markets to watch in 2012 that they feel are showing "signs of strength" in areas including price-appreciation, jobs and a high rate of sales to population. Below you will find the list and, beneath that, you will find some charts on some of those markets I put together to show what the markets are like as well as some charts for some cities I think are worth watching that are not on Inman's top 10 list.

According to a report released by Trulia, house hunters from all over the country are searching for homes in Florida. In fact, of the top 10 metro areas where demand among online house hunters is strongest, seven are located in Florida! Florida also, according to the report, leads the list of states existing residents don't want to leave as well with many times more people from outside of Florida searching for homes in Florida than searches outside the state by people living in Florida. The metro in the number 1 slot is Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville, Florida with 8.8 times more "inbound" property searches than "outbound" property searches. Wow! [...] Related posts:
