Here is the predicted bottom 10 of the best 100 housing markets for 2009:
Los Angeles
Median house price was $375,340 in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale area. There is an expected further drop of 24.9 percent in 2009. It can still fall another 5.1 percent in 2010.
Stockton, California
In 2008, the median home price is $248,050 with one case of foreclosure per 94 homes. Another 24.7 percent drop is expected in 2009 and a 4.0 percent fall in 2010.
Riverside, California
San Bernardino and Ontario used to be one of the bestselling markets in early 2000. With $256,540 median price in 2008 and a great number of foreclosures, a -23.3 percent change is foreseen for 2009, and -4.8 for 2010.
Miami-Miami Beach
With a 22 percent drop, landing median homes at $293,590, Miami must prepare for 2009’s expected fall by 22.8 percent and 2010’s 6.4 percent down.

The Orange County was one of priciest real-estates of 2008 with pricing at $532,810. But not in 2009’s 22 percent or $121,000 fall. In 2010 it is anticipated to fall 3.5 percent more.
