These are factors affecting home sales right now:1. hurricanes/weather2. interest rates3. inflation4. midterm election5. regional concerns (emigration vs immigration) Austin TX Metro has remained strong compared to other markets6. tariffs scare and costs on building materials7. consumer confidence8. home values9. lack of real wage growth vs inflation10. property tax increases due to home prices from sales (TX taxes are high on homes)11. increased insurance costs 12. seasonal cyclesI am sure i left some out.

Ridgewood, Flushing, Emigrant, etc. 

Emigrants coming back from west.After 2007 crash people was scared to invest in real estate.

Living in Prescott, AZ I have LOTS of friends and neighbors who emigrated from CA because of the many reasons stated here.  

But the the economy is solid and diverse, emigration rates are high and are projected to remain so, and it is a very landlord-friendly state.Happy hunting!  

Many of the traditional resource industries (fishing, forestry, mining) are in a long decline and the region has been experiencing an annual emigration of 2-3% for a generation.

Three factors have come into play making real estate purchases easier: economic stagnation (painful but true), large-scale emigration (ditto), and a growing need for cashing out while the losses aren't devastating.

I'm an investor based out of Bozeman, and as of last week we are expanding into Emigrant, outside of Yellowstone.

The only way to bring down housing costs is to increase supply or decrease demand, whether that's by building more, by emigration, or by something else.
