Sorry, San Diego didn’t make the list, but for those who might be thinking of leaving us, here’s a link to today’s story from Yahoo:
http://realestate.yahoo.com/promo/7-cities-with-great-real-estate-deals
You’ve probably heard it a million times recently: it’s a buyer’s market right now in real estate. That’s actually a big understatement – it’s a huge buyer’s market.
That’s bad news for sellers, but good news for you if you’re in the market for a new house. While there are attractive deals to be had nationwide, certain areas have a big inventory of affordable homes available now. You can see a full list of such places on HousingTracker.net, but here are some cities our experts have cited as being especially good choices for bargain-minded buyers.
The towns are Phoenix, Houston, New Orleans, Atlanta, Orlando, Haverhill, MA, and Philadelphia.
Only one thing that bothers me about that list….
The towns are Phoenix, Houston, New Orleans, Atlanta, Orlando, Haverhill, MA, and Philadelphia.

None of those cities/towns are attractive like quality of lifestyle, education, jobs, etc.
New Orelans, Atlanta, Philadelphia are also some of the top crime cities in the USA – New Orleans especially. Orlando is great if you want a job at DisneyWorld, and Phoenix is the place people buy when they can’t afford San Diego. . .you know the old joke in Phoenix – “Our seaport is San Diego” If you don’t believe me, go out to Shelter Island or Harbor Island and look at all those boats that say Phoenix or Scottsdale!
I’m surprised Detroit didn’t make the cut.
