Deal Hunting: Where to find undervalued real estate in the US
It is well known that real estate prices are up, and they dont seem to be going down anytime soon. From Green Bay to Orlando and everywhere in between; potential home buyers are feeling the heat. While home values are relative to location, the average rent for a studio in San Francisco, California is crazy. Such studio costs the same as approximately 5 months of rent for a much larger apartment in Cleveland, Ohio. Most sources agree that prices overall won’t be trending downward anytime soon. That said, there are actually some areas in the US that have what can be considered as an undervalued market. If you’re looking to score a deal on real estate these are the areas to check out.
