Comment by Austin Realtor on 30 November 2006:
Interesting it looks like the list is dominated by Ohio and Michigan. Those areas might be affordable but with their economy in the toilet its hard to get a job. We have had a few people call to relocate to Austin from Detriot. Regardless of how cheap houses are in Detriot if you cant find a job its going to be hard to afford.
