Georgia is still strong (Atlanta area). However, when I buy my new house in the spring, I am going to buy a house we can afford on one salary.
You're very wise to do that. When my husband and I bought 8 years ago, we bought a house based on the one income scenario.
Two years later, I became very ill and had to quit work permanently. Had we bought what we could afford at the time, we would be out on the street. You never know.
