I have seen an influx of investors from your area migrate down to Philly for that exact reason. 100k is a very doable price range down here.

This is a hot market as many people are migrating into the city.

This became evident after hurricane relief, increased migration, movie industry crews and vacationers.

I think it's great when markets like Raleigh-Durham rise in value due to migration patterns and new development, but there are some other fundamental factors to consider as well.

Seems like Austin is suffering more than other markets from the rise in interest rates and is now experiencing a negative net migration.  

But I think (hope) it will be soft enough to find a deal in the next few years.At the same time FL is still the number 1 state for migration.

The low property taxes and net migration patterns make it a good long term market. 

If aging homeowner want to sell their house, they have to either move to a cheaper home or downsizing if they want to stay on the same locationor2. they move out from their city to the area where it's cheaper, it's common to see migration outflow from people that lives in 1500 sqft $2 mil house in CA, and move to Texas/AZ 2500 sqft $700k house.So it seems, if the rate stay this very long, it's like forcing people (and money) to move to different state/city ; and/or make people has much less job mobility option (eg: they stay longer within the company).

which is quite rare as CA was the number one state for Oregon in migration for decades. 

Regardless, I would start planning to migrate to my own line.However, if you are first from the street and the neighbour is connected off of your lateral, then s/he should plan on moving to a new line.
