You might want to look in South Carolina, I'm told things are still rocking there. Housing market drives a lot, that's what I'm thinking of when I say "rocking" - across the board, regional stability.

My wife was laid off from Ford almost a year ago, still has not found a job. She worked for one of the consulting firms/contract houses actually.

Houses take over a year to sell in normally red hot Ann Arbor, that's after dropping the price three times and giving away a Hawaiian vactaion with it.
