My husband and I spent a lot of time checking out Yuma real estate last year as we thought there was a chance we could end up there. There has been HUGE residential building in Yuma. I think RE in Yuma is going to crash big time. There has been wild speculation already and big price increases. The time to make money over this refinery and a possible expansion of the Marine base is over.

There is land for sale as far as the eye can see. I doubt that there will be a boom around the refinery. There may be a few employees who plop down a doublewide but that will be the extent of it. The whole thing sounds like a Florida swamp deal.

We just drove through Yuma last weekend. I was surprised to see that two huge RV dealerships seem to have gone belly up in the last six months.
