Not quite, the real estate market is starting to decline also as those IT people leave their homes to the bank. Guess how office space is selling Denver these days? It's not. Rentals are just trying to find someone who will live there. Reminds me of the mid 80's around here when I used to pick up dozen 3500 square foot homes at a time at 65k a piece.

My daughter was in real estate in Austin until six months ago. I had to finally tell her to get a job, that I was not going to help her any more. Austin real estate market tanked with the computer industry and Dell sending all there support work to India and hiring nothing but temps for sales. The only sales people that still have jobs there are the ones who handled corporate accounts.

Houses are selling at record pace up here in WA state, average price homes are selling in less than two weeks. $500,000 ramblers are selling fast, too.
