Can't lose the Sunbelt is winning Phoenix to Texas to Georgia to the Carolinas. Exception is Austin (has gotten very pricey) But still good job growth. Also Florida.

Most places in that area that is growing a good rate may not have housing that is as affordable as people think it is. You can find areas outside of that region with housing on par with areas within that region or even lower. It will depend on what you are comparing though.
Certainly Jacksonville, FL is in this conversation. It's almost too affordable...more taxes would (hopefully) make for a much higher QOL. And the economy and population is growing healthily.
Do not move to the Austin metro area - traffic sucks and housing prices in the city are out of hand. The gentrification & lack of affordable housing are driving the lower income families out.
What about Columbus. One of the fastest growing areas in the Midwest and still very affordable.
