Forbes housing reporter and analyst Francesca Levy makes some thought-provoking predictions in the latest issue of the magazine.
She Predicts:
- Real estate will be an attractive investment strategy in 2010 with healthy investors devoting an increasing segment of their portfolios to it.
- Loan modifications will result in more people who should probably be facing foreclosure slipping deeper into debt.
- Cities like Omaha, Neb., and Buffalo, N.Y., which avoided the housing bubble and most of the bust, will be models for cities trying to avoid another bubble.
- Financial troubles in Dubai will ripple through the U.S. luxury market, creating energy in a market that has been stagnant.
