That's awesome, but look at all that dang snow! Where is similar affordability, good salaries, and not nearly as much snow?
If you go to the search results, it should have some other areas listed. With that said, with an increase in that demand, the prices will probably go up.

There are areas in DE and the Eastern Panhandle of WV/Western MD that are up there as well.
Yep. Roanoke was nice, but sooo isolated. You just can't have it all.
Its always red states. TX, FL, VA. My personality and red states don't mix. Raleigh is in a purple state but a generally blue area surrounded by bright red counties. I'm even nervous to explore Charlotte even further, many have told me to run the other way if I'm liberal. Esp../York County. Just run away.
I know for a fact I'd be fine in Roch or Syr, but the weather would kill me dead.
I have no idea. Eastern CT is blue and has intelligent people instead of foaming-at-the-mouth red-staters. Perhaps West Chester, PA. The search continues....

Look into Delaware, as it is still affordable and close to major cities, beaches and not too far from mountains. It is actually a good retirement destination as well.

I've thought about it. Newark, DE is nice and close to Philly. Who knows...
I'm not exactly thrilled about the "affordability" title and I'll explain why.
The article says that it compared the prices of the existing and new homes sold to the median income of the residents.
If 93% of the homes sold can be purchased by the average person living here, it may mean that there's little or no influx of well-off people moving to Syracuse and lifting our moribund economy.
Take a look at the other of the five most affordable cities (Dayton, Akron, Harrisburg and Scranton-Wilkes Barre). Is that our new peer group? Yuck!

There are also smaller, growing areas up there when looking at all metros. So, there is a combination of areas in regards to metro economy.
All this means is that given the average(maybe median) income levels in relation to the average(median) home price, that percentage of people can but a home. It is more about pay in relation to being able to buy a home, basically.
