The "hot" spots

If you'd like to buy a house or invest in real estate, you probably want to know where to look. Well doing a little research it looks like in order to find the hottest spots, you might want to check out some places that sizzle year round. Looking at the rankings by U.S News and an article on Kiplinger, the places that appeared in the top 10 of both rankings are Albuqurque, New Mexico and Austin, Texas. What makes these cities top notch is their solid economy, affordable living costs and job growth potential. If you are looking for areas with great opportunities, you might want to head south, where "hot" doesn't just describe the weather.
