75% of my current rentals are occupied by people coming out of state to relocate here. The average difference between the former wages to Ca wages were about 30% with one guy winning at 50%

The wage difference means nothing.

OC is home to 1% (yes, over 120,000 households) of all millionaires in the United States. People who make the median "wage" aren't buying the single family homes in OC, I should know, I had to compete against these ultra wealthy purchasers back in 2012 when I first had money to spend, and I lost more than a few bidding wars to these guys, and I was all cash myself.

What's the inventory for homes in OC? According to Redfin's latest data, around 6,800 total homes of any kind on the market. Normal market I believe is around double that number.

One of the chief reasons why OC is so expensive (especially Coastal) is because of demand, and that's where millionaires want to live. It all trickles inland too, of course.

Median wage is a poor indicator of why OC is so expensive because it doesn't accurately reflect who is in the market for homes in the area.

Bla bla bla bla bla. I’m asking about YOUR wages not you throwing statistics at me. Not everyone has issues in a downturn economy. And not everyone buying in OC is struggling.

Oh I'm a different poster, just was sharing some interesting statistics regarding median income variances between areas. OC is more affluent, LA-OC is slightly more affluent, and Inland Empire is less affluent than some other metros in lower COL areas. The other poster was the one who moved to Colorado or something.

With respect to that last source, it doesn't even break out OC from LA.

LA and OC are far more affluent than the stats reveal. LA, and to a lesser extent OC (e.g. Santa Ana) have large areas of deep poverty. In other words, the Santa Anas and Hawaiian Gardens of the world drop our income averages down tremendously.

Blizzard pretty much sums up why millennials would love to live in OC (and of course work at Blizzard, one of OC's "best places to work"). The California dream is here, just add money.
