Also, if you've considered moving to my home town of Parker, CO then you'll also be glad to know that it's just recently been rated #26 out of the Top 100 Best Places to Live also by CNN Money.  Check it out here and see why.  We're waiting for you!

I have not read thae article, but I agree that it is a good time to build.  Money is still cheap, and prices for alot of building materials has plummetted.  For example when I started my home in 2002, I bought 400 sheets of 1/2 plywood  @ $8-9.  After Katrina and when building was at its peak, I saw the same plywood approach $20 per sheet.  Now I see it at $10-11.  Most sub-contractors, to stay working, must offer better pricing now, too.

Copper is another story, though.
