Louisville has the second best housing market in the country, according to an

analysis by Forbes. com.  Pittsburgh ranked No. 1.  Forbes compiled a top 10 list by

using housing affordability data from the National Association of Home Builders,

foreclosure data from Realty Trac and a one-year housing forecast by Moody's

economy.com.  Taken together, the data showed which markets have had relatively

stable prices through the housing slump while also avoiding big run-ups in

foreclosures, according to Forbes.

Also in the top 10 were Indianapolis, Columbus, Oh., St. Louis and Memphis, Tenn.
