NEW YORK, NY, October 03, 2010 (Press-News.org) Ever since the housing market went bust, experts and property owners have been trying to predict just when the value of real estate will start going up again--if ever.

Many industry insiders are now suggesting that there are small but positive indications showing that the market is finally stabilizing.

According to a recent report presented by Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller Home Price Indexes, 19 of 20 metropolitan areas surveyed show an improvement in their annual rate of return, and 17 of the 20 saw price increases.

"I believe the real estate market is on the way to recovery," says Steve Dexter, co-author of the new book "Buy & Hold Forever: How to Build Wealth for the 21st Century". "Low mortgage rates and low home prices, along with government tax credits, will help to speed up the recovery process and give unique opportunities to buyers."

In the book, Mr. Dexter and his co-author, David Schumacher, reveal investment techniques that can work in the midst of a slow real estate market or a booming one, for first-time buyers or seasoned investors, and for buyers of single-family residences, apartment buildings or shopping malls.

"Investors need to understand that real estate recovery will not happen overnight. They are not likely to see the same inflated prices they saw during the last real estate boom anytime soon," says Mr. Dexter.

The key indicators of real estate market recovery are:
- Steady property prices
- Affordable mortgage rates
- Declining inventory
- Low unemployment rates
- Low number of foreclosure cases
- Government programs such as home buyer tax credits and refinancing

"The core message in today's real estate market is: buy now and hold on," says Mr. Dexter. "No question about, real estate will forever be the best investment any person can make."
