Question, is the price really ridiculously low or has the price of homes in the area been historically artificially inflated?

I am very concerned about our economy and wonder how much more we will have to pay for goods and services. It will be interesting to see how some people who have gotten used to a "comfortable" lifestyle will adjust paying more for less and unable to keep up with the Jones'.

Indeed it will be.
