We present some exact solutions and a phase space analysis of metric $f(R)$-gravity models of the type $R^{n}$. We divide our discussion in $n\neq2$ and $n=2$ models. The later model is a good approximation, at late times to the $f(R) = \frac{2}{\pi}R \tan^{-1}(R/\beta^2)$ gravity model, being this an example of a non--singular case. For $n \neq 2$ models we have found power law solutions for the scale factor that are attractors and that comply with WMAP 5-years data if $n <-2.55 $ or $ 1.67< n < 2$. On the other hand, the quadratic model has the de Sitter solution as an attractor, that also complies with WMAP 5-years data.
