So, where there is still land pressure, like downtown Tokyo, property values are high, but in rural areas, local governments are literally giving away land to anyone who will agree to move there.As long as we have strong immigration to the US, we will be okay, since that is where almost all of our population growth comes from.  

Your roofer might be leaving the country, the next guy will want to make more than the immigrant dude......go figure!

For past 12 months I've brought 20 families from my community (eastern European immigrants) and the street quality changed big time.

I am an attorney whose primary focus is real estate, immigration, and business law.

I come from an EXTREMELY poor family, immigrants from Guyana.

I've found that there are only a small handful of people that will seem to truly grasp these concepts, and that immigrants or people that closely resemble my set of life circumstances (so they can relate directly to me) tend to be particularly receptive for some reason. 

Also, there are too many variables with immigration reform which is making foreign nationals uneasy. 

The area is kind of fading from a jobs and immigration standpoint, but rents and property prices still seem to be surprisingly high.I've not dug much into the commercial market in Bloomington yet, but man the residential market here has been crazy this spring.

Is the state experiencing a change in immigration/emigration?

I have seen this here in AZ with what are likely illegal immigrants.
