Is the market slowing? Where is a strong market to consider?

[Scott Kelley]

Hi all, I've sure noticed a slowdown in properties coming on the MLS here and I'm seeing a much higher days on market for properties. Are you seeing the same in your area? Do you think it is a cyclic slowdown (Fall tends to slow) or something more?

As a buy and hold investor, my market (Seattle) is too expensive to get any significant return right now so I'm very interested in remotely purchasing properties.  Do any of you have a "home run" market that you recommend right now?  I'm just trying to feel the pulse of the community.

Thanks

Scott
