If you are thinking about starting or expanding your real estate portfolio, check out our list of the ten best places to buy real estate in 2022.

Despite COVID-19 defying every economic prediction, the real estate sector showed surprising resilience. What many Americans feared would be a long and devastating economic downturn did not happen. Instead, the economy, along with the real estate industry, bounced back after one year. Productivity has already exceeded pre-COVID-19 levels, and experts are projecting that jobs would recover to 2019 levels by next year.

Because of the pandemic, the property sector may have changed forever. The need for flexibility and convenience made certain assets obsolete:

- Remote work means lower demand for offices
- Online shopping means lower demand for retail properties
- Entire families staying home means higher demand for spacious single-family houses and home improvement

This list is based on Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2022 undertaken by PwC and the Urban Land Institute (ULI). This is the 43rd edition of one of the most highly regarded forecast reports in the real estate industry.
