Real estate markets in the Midwest and the South dominate the list of the Top 10 Markets to Watch in 2012, according to a report compiled by Inman News. Only two Northeastern markets, both in New York, made the list, but no markets from the West were included. The 10 markets are: Raleigh-Cary, N.C.; Wichita, Kan.; Rochester, N.Y.; Des Moines, Iowa; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Peoria, Ill.; Amarillo, Texas; Binghampton, N.Y.; Waterloo-Cedar Falls, Iowa; and Bloomington-Normal, Ill. These markets are showing signs of improvement in several key metrics, including above-average price appreciation, a flourishing job market, a high rate of sales in proportion to population, higher home affordability, low foreclosure activity, a below-average share of distressed sales, and low vacancy rates.
