Forbes magazine recently released their 10 best cities in which to buy a home right now. To determine what cities are smart buys, Forbes computed the premium of home ownership and where economists predict that home prices will go up the most over the next five years.
The premium of home ownership is the difference between what you would spend to rent and what you would pay for a mortgage. This is important because in the long run, you could save in a huge way by purchasing a home now, particularly while the home buyer tax credit is still in effect.
Here are the top 10 cities the magazine chose as the best places to buy right now.

Last November, the Homebuyer Tax Credit was extended giving first time home buyers a tax rebate of $8,000 and $6,500 for qualified buyers who already own their home.
The tax credit applies to homes purchased before April 30, 2010 and to homes under contract by April 30, 2010 which will close by June 30, 2010.
Stop for a moment to consider the fact that it might take several weeks to choose the right home, it will take adequate time to negotiate the right price and terms, and another 30 days or so to process your mortgage loan. You’re looking at upwards of 60 days or more before you can close the transaction and move in.
Whether you are a first time homebuyer, or you are looking to move up to a larger home, now is the time to move forward on that home purchase. Charlotte has so many great neighborhoods in which to look for that dream home. The current prices are very attractive, interest rates are favorable, and there are some great deals out there.
Contact me for more information about homes for sale in your price range, as well as the home purchase process. I will be happy to recommend qualified home mortgage consultants who can pre-qualify you for your purchase and discuss available mortgage programs to meet your financial needs.

Listed below is the residential real estate market summary for the Charlotte area for the period January 6, 2010 through February 5, 2010:
Sold: 1,364; avg. LP $229,214; avg. SP $200,592; %LP/SP 87.51%
New Listings: 5,571; avg. price $276,787
Under Contract: 1,833; avg. price $218,182
Withdrawn: 1,548; avg. price $321,976
Expired Listings: 1,303 ; avg. price $306,539
Active Listings: 23,225; avg. price $296,826
The number of closed residential transactions fell 10.7% in January compared to December, but increased 8.4% over that for January a year ago. Contracts written for the month increased a surprising 25% over prior month, indicating that the tax credit is continuing to have an effect and that, perhaps, the market activity overall is beginning to take shape for 2010.
Seller price concessions increased to 12.5% for January compared to 10.5% in December. A year ago we saw pricing discounts of only 9.8%, and in 2008, the average price reduction on contracted sales was just 6.4%. It is not clear whether the new home or resale segment of the market is most influential in these numbers, as those figures are not available separately.
Hopefully, the anticipated spring buying season and the impact of the home buyer tax credit will have a positive effect on our market as we move forward in 2010. As in other areas of the country, our market will need to benefit from an improvement in the job market and the housing markets from which so many people relocate to the Charlotte area.
