Not really. That is a local issue. People leaving the west coast have completely swamped everything from Nevada over.

Starter homes in the nice cities in Idaho went from $85k to $400k in 4+ years. It isn't corporations buying these homes, but rather people fleeing the west coast in massive droves. The same is true for the east coast.

Flights of large numbers of people from both coasts have put pressure inward, too. Nebraska, Minnesota, and Wisconsin have had large increases of people moving there with attendant pressures on housing prices and availability in those areas.
