Looks like there are some good deals to be had! 

I think that this increase in house-moving is probably a function of people being more conscious about money and value.  In the boom years, there was probably way more houses that would have been good candidates to move than there are now, good old houses that were torn down for shopping malls or housing developments for example, but people weren't thinking outside the box... who needed to, when you could just buy any old cookie cutter house and people were telling you that the price was going to double in three years?  In down times, I think people start seeing the value of things in a more practical and sensible way.  People, for example, might look at houses like this in terms of the cost of the materials and labor to build something comparable, rather than, say, comparing a listed house price to other similar houses in the neighborhood and considering it a "good value" merely because the house price seemed favorable compared to other prices in the neighborhood.
