BARGAINS!

Where are the bargains found? This from MSN Real Estate:

"For undervalued, affordable housing with a good outlook for home-price and job-market growth, there's one region of the country that stands out: the South. Metro areas such as Austin, Texas; Baton Rouge, La.; Durham, N.C.; and Houston are all expected to see home prices increase more than 5% over the next two years -- a big figure in a country where home prices are expected to trend downward overall.

"If you exclude Florida, the one area of the country that has a good outlook with respect to affordable housing and job growth is really the South," says Stiff. "There are other places in the country that have one of those things, but not both." The Midwest, for instance, has affordable housing but increasing unemployment, while the West has job growth but very expensive housing."

Notice that two of the major metropolitan areas listed are in Texas! East Texas is a coming hot spot for living and investment. Your money will buy more here, and it will probably grow more here. Tyler Texas real estate, http://www.johncmartin.com/, will gladly serve you here when you're ready.
