The housing market has been hot -- record hot -- since low interest rates and a high interest in working from home began driving up prices and keeping supply low throughout most of the country.
High prices have added more oomph to the rental market, too. Rental rates have risen as well, although not as fast as the prices for buying in most cases. That means more people are looking to rent, whether because of high prices or just to remain mobile without the burdens of a mortgage or maintenance.
Each market, of course, is different, but real estate remains a great investment option for many Americans. Here are, in alphabetical order, 10 cities that can make an argument for being among the best to invest in next year.
