Infact, like somewhere here in Minot, houses are going up dramatically..
My wife and I are looking for a house right now.. and even in some of the less then desirable areas... the houses which cost 50-100k 10 years ago, are now going for 150-200k..

There is a sub-division that just went up last year, homes sold for 200-250, and are now selling from 250-300k...
Tim, the market in North Dakota is very different to let's say FL, NV, OH. Home prices are actually going up in your state with the heavy presence of oil companies and defense industries buying up huge lots of land. I do agree that in some areas pricing went up, DC is one of those examples because of the Federal Gov. I looked into buying rental properties early in the year but held off due to the issues with renters (wrecking your home, leaving you with repairs for the next one, bad tenants, low return due to declining home pricing). Please don't get me wrong, a house is a much better investment than a car but if one at at the early stages of his/her career (where you might be expected to move around) buys a house thinking that it will return big in a few months, then that person will be up for some nasty surprise. We are no longer in the 90s & early 2000s where you were guaranteed major returns once you bought your house
