Top Ten Best Housing Markets Across America
Forbes’ Top Ten Best Housing Markets Across America

By Lani Rosales on February 25, 2010

Forbes.com released their list of Top 10 Best Housing Markets based primarily on the stability of each metro area as measured by affordability rankings and foreclosure rates as an indicator of a lack of excess inventory, making the top cities what they call the best opportunities for home shoppers. Lists are a dime a dozen, but Forbes is pretty reliable with their data analysis and take a big picture view of the market.

Here are the top ten best housing markets:
1.Pittsburgh, PA
2.Louisville, KY
3.Houston, TX
4.Minneapolis, MN
5.Indianapolis, IA
6.Memphis, TN
7.Columbus, OH
8.St. Louis, MO
9.Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX
10.Austin, TX

Interestingly enough, this top 10 doesn’t have any cities in common with Zillow’s Top 10 Cities for a Bargain list also released this month (which names Naples as the top city).
