It is time to change the reasons for buying a home - you may want to evaluate other situations including 'Are the fundamentals of this location good including schools, crime-rate, access to freeway, access to community and cultural activities and Weather'.

Gone are those days where you thought - I only have 200k and I need a 4bedroom, 3 bath - for this price, this is the city I can buy and live. You now have the most opportunity window anybody could get and probably a wide and confusing set of choices in front of you. I recently spoke to a realtor company who helps their clients buy investment properties and they are seeing a rise in the 'sellers' and several great locations are coming on sale.

Our advise to you: Hold on to your wallet and watch and wait before you jump in. Newer factors play in now and depending on your needs, ask and choose the best out there :
a. Good schools in all levels
b. Good Weather
c. Nearby brand name companies and their growth track
d. Cultural activities
e. Crime rate
f. Safe and open space
g. Access to highway
h. Newer Malls
i. Health care access and proximity to brand name hospitals
j. Access to home improvement stores
k. Parks and playgrounds
l. County Librares and free community services.

Lastly, Friendly neighbors.
