This overwhelming sense of a culture permeating all the physical space of one’s existence shines in much of the world’s memory. Some are disturbed by it, but many are enthralled. Indeed, much of the city’s population first came to the city and saw the city’s lights and bars, nightlife and endless ocean of buildings for the first time with a certain powerful sense of awe.

My expectations are to invest in either New York real estate or Chicago. Both cities are witnessing exponential growth and a booming economy, why wouldn’t you invest in the area. Now while not the best comparison think about it they are the pizza competitors. What do I mean by this? Well the Chicago style is deep dish thick crust, versus the thin crust New York style, I guess not the same thing but everyone needs a starting point. It’s pretty much a given that any time you’re holding a prime piece of Chicago or New York real estate you stand to make a nice profit. Everything comes down to location, and the time at which you’re holding the property. If there are buyers searching for sellers and you have the real estate close to everything you’re sitting pretty. Of course there is always the chance of prices falling. Ohio is an good example right now their real estate market isn’t holding up so well. There are a number of reasons that this might happen, whether it be unemployment rates, schools, crime etc. You have to always be looking at the broad spectrum when thinking about investing in real estate there is more to consider then just the property, and neighborhood.

Economists across the board believe that New York, NY will profit from a renewed interest in the area real estate market. Interest rates have become stable, consumers are slowing regaining their confidence in the market, and property bargains are popping up everywhere you turn. Due to ARM resets, a larger amount of foreclosures and pre-foreclosures are becoming the latest trend.

Finally, Clay, New York this real estate market has more buyers than sellers with homes sitting on the market from ninety to one-hundred and twenty days and an increasing market trend. There is a good inventory of homes available and prices are up 0-5% to rest at $125,000 on average. First time buyers and population growth are driving this no multiple offer market with sellers receiving 95-100% of their initial asking price.
