There's no way you could build a 3000 sq foot house for anywhere close to that price, so that could appreciate significantly before someone thought it was worth building new. The market has to soak up the huge vacanct supply before any price increases can happen, but if they start getting in-migration again that's possible.
Sell my house, take my equity and purchase one of those houses, pay for move, take a pay cut at work and arrange to work remotely only.

Live like a king in Detroit where no one else can get a job.
