Jan. 9 (Bloomberg) -- If the easy money days are over in the U.S. housing market and most of your net worth tied up in real estate, that means it's time to diversify and find appreciation in unfamiliar places.

There are plenty of signs that the U.S. real estate market may be shifting into slow gear. Sales of existing homes fell to an eight-month low in November, leaving the highest inventory of homes on the market in 20 years, according to the National Association of Realtors, a trade association.

New home sales also are slackening, falling 11 percent in November for the biggest decline in 11 years. As a result, the demand for mortgages dropped to the lowest in almost four years in the last week of December. Even Manhattan isn't immune and apartment sales dipped 27 percent in the last quarter of 2005, a 10-year low.

With the mortgage market still feeling the pinch of 13 straight Federal Reserve short-term interest rate increases, few economists are calling for more record-breaking home sales or price increases.
