If you watch the news nowadays (which I highly suggest you quit watching the news altogether because it NEVER puts you in a better mood and it’s 98% bad or gossipy “news”)… all you hear about is how “bad” the real estate market is and that the sky is falling.

So… is it?

Well, the other day the Today Show had a little segment showing the 5 markets that are on the verge of a recovery according to Barbara Corchoran their resident real estate expert.

Check out the short video to learn who (I’ll bet you $100 it’s not the city you think will be at #1):

I told ya, bet you never thought it would be Denver, Colorados real estate market as being the #1 city on the verge of recovery.

What Does This Mean To Real Estate Investors?

Well, this means that now is still the time to dive into these markets while they’re low. The report doesn’t say that home prices are on the rise again… it says that the jobs, etc. are starting to improve again and usually when all of those indicators improve the housing market improves as well.

The best possible place to jump into a market is at the bottom (obvious) or right as it’s on it’s climb back up because you drastically cut your timeframe on seeing returns on your investment… and you’ll be back in the market before the main stream media and “normal” people will even really know what’s going on.

So… use the info in that video to spur on your research… and start looking for emerging markets and markets that are poised for an early recovery.
