Lots of new SFRs Development in Modesto.. Is it a good buy ?

[Andy Shah]

Talking to a fried of mine yesterday, he mentioned that he's moving to Modesto and bought a new house. Mainly because he can't afford to buy anywhere close to the bay area. He also mentioned that few of his co-workers are also doing the same. Looks like there's lot of new single family homes going up in Modesto. Wondering if it's a good time to buy one and may be flip or buy and hold(rent) and then sell. Anyone familiar with what's happening out there ? Is it the next destination for bay area people to buy since Tracy and Mountain house prices has gone up now.
