Real estate has never been more dynamic. Rents are high and experts predict they will continue to climb. This year saw increases in nearly every major city, led by Washington, D.C., where rents are up 11 percent. Meanwhile, vacancy rates are also at a 15-year high, and rents continue to plummet in most U.S. markets. In Boston, for example, prices have fallen by 12 percent, and in Austin, they have dropped by 20 percent. (Get more insight into the state of the market in Real Estate Now from Inc. magazine.)
