4 bedrooms, 2 bathroom, Cleveland Ohio: Asking 13,000 US Dollars

Forget Florida and Arizona. If you want a deal, the Erie Lake region is where you want to be. On the US side that is. And "deal" is relative. In essence, you will be paying much less than you would have before. You can find very cheap homes in large cities such as Detroit (and suburbs), Cleveland and Cincinnati.

The problem is, those prices could still be on the way down. And if location isn't an issue, there are cheaper homes to be had in smaller places on both sides of the border (such as in Northern Maine and the Maritimes (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island).

By any definition, Cleveland and company are way past recession. They are in a depression.

So for the love of goodness, don't base your analysis of the US economy on your latest sun trip destination. If facts and figures are not enough, get on the bus and take a (very) short trip south (North if you live in Windsor, Ontario).

OK, so ten grand would be hard to beat, even in Northern Maine or Northern New Brunswick. But I'm assuming those houses have been gutted (i.e. to be inhabitable, you would have to spend some serious change)

This is a view of Broadstreet and one of the many forclosed properties (note the empty lots)
