not where I live! there is little inventory, and a huge demand.

Yes there is a huge demand because the developers are running out of space and have been requesting to build vertically. Existing homeowners are not too keen on that however. The last downturn was in 2008. Hopefully, it will take longer to happen again next time around.

Once again, I have to remind you that CA is a very big state. There is no development going on where I live, as well as in various other areas where family members live.
But since you want to be morose...go for it!

Bless you. I know you've made a very hard decision.

Same here and north - almost no inventory and a very high demand. Family member works for one of the largest construction supply companies in the nation. They bill 4+ million dollars per month, almost every month - in CA.

Running out of space? Definitely not - and certainly not in the IE, which you previously mentioned. It’s a huge desert, largely flat. Plenty of land. Miles and miles.
”Running out of land” perhaps in downtown San Francisco or downtown LA - but that’s decades-old, even generations old news. All of OC is still building “out”, so is the greater area where both @september and I live - a green, beautiful, desirable area (which Riverside is not) - and where @dulwich will be has the best of several worlds. There is tons of land to build on in CA - some places more desirable than others.

I guess no one is paying attention.
Mandatory and voluntary evacations for about 180 homes has been ordered due to flooding in charred areas.

@puttypiesmomI think that those of us are blessed to live in California are well aware of our particular dangers. Some areas are prone to fire and flooding; some are more likely to experience an earthquake at some point. These are important issue to our state, just as are the particular dangers facing ever other state. But they don't equally apply to the entirety of California, which is a huge area.
I've lived through several earthquakes but never fire or flooding. I will take my chances here more than I would take my chances of hurricanes, tornadoes, snow cyclones (or whatever they're calling it), massive flooding, etc.
All states have their unique beauty and their converse. I find California to be blessed with a temperate clime and and a fascinatingly varied landscape, where you can surf in the morning and ski in the afternoon.
California, though, is not one state. It is filled with very different locales. It's a state that can't be defined by any one quality.

So if one off-target, bizarre rant fails, try another one. This is getting hilarious. Can’t wait to see what’s next up. ETA: I know exactly what will be up next. Waiting for it. Let’s see if I’m right.
@dulwich, please don’t let “anyone” dissuade you artificially, or keep you from coming back and sharing your plans and arrival. Ignore the strange...
I’m passing through your new “neck of the woods” today. Just hope I don’t get burned, washed away by a flood, die of thirst in a drought or fall into the ocean due to an earthquake before I get home.
Enjoy your anticipation!

Glad you've come to a decision with which you are happy.
To you and anyone...please don't EVER let neighbors impact a life-changing decision. Neighbors come and go; and I doubt very much they would base a life-changing decision on what YOU think.
I agree 100% @esmerelda.
