What are the Best Housing Markets in California for 2007?

Answer:
San Jose, California comes up as number three best housing market, nationwide,

according to Forbes.com. Average home prices in San Jose are quite high, and $850,000 buys a typical three-bedroom, two-bath, 1700 square foot home with a two-car garage and lawn in front and back.

Most other regions in California have felt the same plunges in the housing market as the rest of America, and perhaps even more so, since California experienced a real estate boom for a time prior to the current slump. RealtyTimes.com states: "There's concern for California's housing sector because prices have skyrocketed too far too fast."

That said, there are still housing markets which must be the best, in spite of overall negative growth. In addition to San Jose, San Francisco (median price for single family home: $1.3M), Los Angeles (median price for single family home: $500K), and San Diego (median price for single family home: $530K) continue to maintain fairly stable trends.
