As the housing market improves across the country, certain cities are emerging as relative bargains.  Some areas, like Miami, were hit hard by the recession, and other areas are buoyed by good school systems and strong labor markets.

In this 5-minute video from The Today Show, 10 cities are highlighted for their home prices.  And they’re not “small towns”, either. 

Among the featured cities:

  • Miami, Florida
  • Akron, Ohio
  • Tuscon, Arizona
  • Minneapolis, Minnesota
  • Trenton, New Jersey

Now, this piece is about finding gems on a national scale.  They exist locally here in Philadelphia , too.  Our moderate prices have stood up well to the economic challenges of the past few years. You just need to know what to look for.

With mortgage rates low and tax credits available, it’s not likely that bargains will last. And the activity being experienced by our associates since the start of the year indicates that this is the right time to at least review your options.
