With the housing market struggling, the subprime lending crisis coming to a head, and the stock market varying wildly, many investors and homebuyers are wondering where — if anywhere — are the best places to buy real estate right now.

The answer is, anywhere the market is showing signs of stabilizing.  What you want to look for is sales numbers going up, while prices still remain low.  That will guarantee that you get the best deal, and having an increase in value to look forward to in the coming years.

For instance, Denver real estate reports for September showed that sales numbers were going up, and the number of homes for sale was shrinking, yet homes were still selling for less than what they would have a year ago.  In certain areas of Florida, such as Orlando Florida real estate and Jacksonville homes for sale, September’s stats showed a similar story.

Many experts are now forecasting a beginning to the end of the troubled housing market.  They are saying that what some of the hardest-hit areas are seeing — improving sales numbers, dropping prices, dwindling inventory — indicates that the real estate freefall is bottoming out, and will soon begin to climb again.  After all, the areas that fall first will recover first, so those are the areas where you want to consider buying a home or investing in real estate!
