Yes, compared to other options, real estate investment is looking favorable these days. And you ask a good question about jobs - always a concern to real estate investors. Yes, Gilroy does have jobs to support $1900/month rent and Gilroy is located about 30 - 45 minutes south of Silicon Valley where there are many jobs that can support well over $1900/month in rent.

Since I'm not from the area - does Gilroy have many jobs that support the rent of $1900 per month?

I think there are a lot of buyers and sellers waiting in the wings ready to act once they feel a renewed sense of confidence! Gretchen Hi Harriet,

We are definitely seeing a large number of sales in the lower price-ranges; some are receiving multiple offers. However I hear that a new wave of foreclosures will be coming onto the market in California in 2009-2010, and this will most likely keep prices low during those years. Thanks Mike.
