The big question in real estate these days is "When will the bottom of the market occur?"

The elusive bottom of the market may be closer than you think, but it depends where you live and what you see. Housing Predictor explores how to find the elusive bottom of your real estate market, and lists the 10 Signs to look for when the bottom of your market is near.

Housing Predictor forecasts more than 250 local housing markets in all 50 U.S. states, and provides insightful exclusive real estate news in its growing online magazine format.

All real estate markets are local in nature driven by regional economies, including job growth, business development and a list of other indicators that determine each community's economic health. Finding the bottom in any real estate market is no easy task, but there are chief indicators that can at least shed some light on the current state of the market.

Investors look for stabilization to develop first and then determine for them selves whether it's a prudent time to take the next step. Historically, real estate cycles last any where from 7 to 10 years on average in the U.S. But that too may be changing as economic conditions outside of the norm develop to drastically reform market dynamics.

That's what happened to cause the credit crisis as Wall Street sold securities in record numbers to fill record high orders of home mortgages like commodities. The crisis has widely extended into the overall economy as all-time high foreclosures worsen in just about every state of the nation.

Real estate recessions exist in 46 states, but the bottom of many markets may be closer than you might think. Take for instance, Florida, which saw its real estate markets stall out earlier than the rest of the nation as a result of two terrible successive years of hurricane activity. The back to back active hurricane seasons threw Florida into an earlier slowdown than the rest of the country, and many of its local housing markets are already showing many signs of hitting their bottoms.

Other markets in California and Arizona are beginning to signal that some markets may be getting close to bottoms. Market bottoms don't happen with a big bang. Most people hardly ever realize they've happened until markets are headed up.
