Surprise, surprise, even though it seems like the entire economy has tanked. There are still a handful of places where homesellers find buyers.

Not everyone strolled away from their usurious ARM payments once the new rates kicked in and pumped the monthly mortgage payment above and beyond what the home is worth.

CNN Money tapped 10 places where  homes have been finding buyers as well as sellers. Hint: the Big Apple and San Francisco aren’t on the list.

New York state and Louisiana did make the list, with New Orleans and Baton Rough in the top ten along with chilly Buffalo and the Niagara Falls area. The best place for growth? Sprawling El Paso, Texas, a hop across the border from Juarez.

Homes in El Paso should climb less than 2 percent in 2008. Time to pack my bags and start heading for the border.
