10 Cities For Home Bargains

As the housing market improves across the country, certain cities are emerging as relative bargains. Some areas, like Miami, were hit hard by the recession, and other areas are buoyed by good school systems and strong labor markets.

In this 5-minute video from The Today Show, 10 cities are highlighted for their home prices. And they're not "small towns", either.

Among the featured cities:

• Miami, Florida
• Akron, Ohio
• Tuscon, Arizona
• Minneapolis, Minnesota
• Trenton, New Jersey

Now, this piece is about finding gems on a national scale. They exist locally here in Philadelphia , too. In fact with our traditionally moderate prices combined with the Tax credit, the market place is ripe for buyers. You just need to know what to look for.

With mortgage rates low and tax credits available, it's not likely that bargains will last.
