According to his book Before you BUY! The Homeowners Handbook To Today’s Market, Michael Corbett, real estate expert and host of NBC's "Extra's Mansions & Millionaires!" suggests buying in an area that is welcoming Starbucks and Whole Foods to neighborhood. “It's a sign that the neighborhood is up-and-coming, and therefore a smart real estate bet.”

Corbett writes:

"One of the best ways to stretch your buying dollar is to find a neighborhood that is in transition. Called fringe or transitional neighborhoods, they are typically close to major metropolitan areas and were once neglected and less desirable. Is there a trendy restaurant where a tattoo parlor used to be? These neighborhoods are now beginning to enjoy a new life and your goal is the find them."

2013 is poised to be a very busy time for commercial real estate - assuming we don’t go over the fiscal cliff in the next 10 days. And good times may be ahead for apartment builders in particular. “Assuming current trends hold, over the rest of this decade, we will need at least 300,000 new apartments annually, and possibly as many as 400,000, to meet demand,” says Mark Obrinsky, vice president of research and chief economist for the National Multi Housing Council.

Despite the current financial uncertainty, strong demographics help apartments. The number of people who are in the age group most likely to rent apartments—20 to 34 years old—will grow by 2.4 million people over next five years. That’s the fastest rate of growth for that age group since the early 1980s. The demand from Echo Boomers entering the work force and renting apartments plus rising immigration levels will continue to “significantly surpass new construction of rental units,” according to analysis from Marcus & Millichap.

Developers have taken out permits to build new multifamily housing at an annualized, seasonally adjusted rate of more the 250,000 a year every month since summer 2012, according to Census data. The rate was 296,000 in November—more than twice the rate of construction just after the recession, when almost the only projects built were financed with federal housing subsidies.

Housing economists expect “continued, modest growth” in new-home construction through 2013, says David Crowe, chief economist for the National Association of Home Builders.
