Stockton, Riverside/San Bernardino (which is it? They are two different cities; I’m assuming they mean Riverside in San Bernardino County), Bakersfield, and Sacramento ... four of the top ten. But readers may not be aware that NONE of those markets are particularly “hot” by California standards — Riverside was indeed HOT about four years ago. We pondered buying there — you could get a lot of house for not much dough and still be (more or less) in So Cal. Stockton, Bakersfield, and Sacramento are Valley towns, a whole different ballgame. Hot markets to a point, but nothing compared to the “hot” that was coastal and So. Cal. until about three years ago. Still, it’s an interesting article. I’m glad you posted it.
Riverside is in Riverside County.
None of these areas have as much objective value as coastal California - the prices shot up later when they were seen as affordable alternatives, and are falling first as the market cools off.
Riverside is a separate city in Riverside County while San Bernardino is a separate city in San Bernardino County but a lot of times you will see Riverside/San Bernardino referred to as the Inland Empire.
riverside be in riverside county.

keep buying coastal.... always buy coastal.... next 20 years another several million are moving to California... most to the coast.
