Like every other part of America this area experienced overbuilding starting in about 2006 which lead to a real estate down turn during the recession. Home prices were still down 7.3% in2009 compared to 2008 and they appear to be continuing tom decline. It's helping to keep living cheap here but even with the recession unemployment rate at 6.7% still remains lower than the national average at 10%.
