The real estate market has been hit hard in most of the United States in the past few years. There are regions however that have either been affected in an especially negative fashion or not affected at all. Even before the most recent financial crisis when real estate values took a huge hit, region-by-region, it has always been something that fluctuates up and down. You may own oceanfront property on the East Coast that is now worth less than half of what it was ten years ago. You may even own commercial properties that have stayed the same, as far as value goes, in metro areas and commercial properties that have lost a significant amount of dollar value per square foot because they lie on the outskirts of metro areas. There is simply no longer the same need for commercial properties in suburban areas that there may have been a few years ago when the building began construction. More than most things you purchase to add worth and hopefully make a profit on, real estate is an animal that is less predictable than the outcome of a sporting event. Our directory on real estate by region will publish a variety of information on the real estate outlook region-by-region throughout the country. We collect resources on real estate agencies, commercial property companies, mortgage lenders, individual realtors and information on how to select real estate to purchase that has a higher chance to grow in value.
