I currently reside in Orange County, CA but am looking to relocate to Colorado in a year or so.

Homes in my town are almost twice as expensive as the surrounding outlying counties - for comparable properties!

There are potentially better deals still available right now, and now I have to face the challenge of raising the cash.As of right now, I have just over 7K in cash with another 6K coming in about 10 days, giving me 13K.There is a property available for 20.9K, which is in MUCH better shape and in a much better area of the county which just happens to have the highest real estate prices in the county.

We have areas like Orange County which is doing relatively well, and is strong in all those things I mentioned, and other areas that have unemployment up around 20% still, with no economies to speak of.As the market picks up in the more stable areas, and grows to full strength again, people start looking at investing in 2nd homes, etc., and oftentimes those homes are in areas that are great tourist areas, but were very hard hit in economic downturns.
