A new Forbes list predicts that among the ten cities where home values are expected to rise the most in 2011 includes three Golden State cities: San Jose (No.1), Santa Ana (No.2) and San Diego (No.5).
Working with Forbes to put this top ten list together was a company called Local Market Monitor which tracked 315 American real estate markets. The tracked markets included several key economic factors that directly affected those housing markets which included both unemployment and job growth rates.
According to Forbes, with the current average home price in Santa Ana being at $449,396, there is a predicted 3 percent increase over the next 12 months and the list also predicts a 2 percent increase throughout the next three years.
