"Forget the big coastal cities. But if you don't mind a long commute, can telecommute, or work in smaller cities, you'll find lots of great buys.

"...The pace of home sales slowed sharply in October, according to a national survey of brokerage firms by Real Trends, a Littleton, Colo., real-estate consulting firm. A slowdown in deals is what happens when buyers cut their bids, but sellers aren't yet prepared to lower their asking prices."
