Top 10 Real Estate Trends for 2011

Most economists don't expect a recovery in the housing market in 2011, but some real estate experts say they remain "cautiously optimistic."

Can you believe 2011 is only a few weeks away? Where did 2010 go?

Seemed like yesterday that the market was all abuzz about the homebuyer’s tax credit. The incentive spurred a lot of home buying activity early in the year, but as expected, the flurry slowed down when the credit expired.

We aren’t going to see that same excitement as we start 2011, but the good news is that homes will continue to be affordable.

Prices are still coming down in some markets, so if you’re on the fence, it’s a good time to start looking. And if you’re an investor with lots of cash, there are plenty of opportunities for you.
