Get in while the gettin' is good.

Dave.

Orange County would be a nice place to live, if it weren't 80 miles away from where I worked

I think one of the reasons why OC has such a high projected growth rate in prices is because they're one of the few areas that has room to build. You've got parts of Ventura county, Valencia/Santa Clarita, and OC who have the land to expand, but the problem with those areas is that there isn't much employment opportunity yet (especially in Valencia). If predictions from a few years back come true, some businesses will move their offices out of the high-rent areas in downtown LA and move them to Valencia or even OC. If more companies move out to those areas, then the housing prices will jump once again.
