My job brought me to Indiana last year from Denver. I thought I might be able to afford a home here. Nope. I'm paying the same in rent for older apartments. The homes face the same pricing issues as the rest of the country. Additionally, as you mentioned, folks are coming in with cash over the asking price. The whole thing is fucked.
