When we moved to our area, this was the "edge of civilzation" in the 80's...the place where young, first time buyers came and got a good house at a decent price. Now that belt has moved out 50 miles. I go through areas that were once cornfields and "miles from civilization" and see huge developments that have sprung up in recent years. My wife always asks "where are these people coming from". I have no clue.
Several years ago I was considering "upgrading" my home and looked around and wasn't very impressed with what I saw. I was warned about construction problems in many of the new builds and am glad I stayed put. The silver lining is those who want to do home renovation and can afford it will find a lot of qualified people looking for work.
