Where are The Real Estate Buying Opportunities - Seems like buyers of second homes will shop around for distressed properties in 2009. The best buys will be in nice places that have yet to be turned into trendy destinations. Some second home communities that saw the highest price appreciation rates since 2002 are likely to be corrected the hardest. Not every overpriced property will be knocked down, but a few will.
Automotive and metal industries are downsizing, if not disappearing. 2nd homes and recreation properties that their wage and salary employees bought in the good times are coming on the market.
