That being said, I still don't see this as evidence that illegal immigrants are the cause of fluxuating house values. As you do well to point out, I don't live in a heavilly migrant-populated state, yet our housing values have dropped all the same. Clearly there is no regional link between immigrant population and houseing costs.

You just proved my point. Home prices are dropping nation wide except for Oklahoma. Why are homes here staying relatively unchanged?
Answer- Because removing illegals and forcing them to other states has caused an increase of LABORERS on new homes thus increasing the cost to build a home.
Many sub contractors hire illegals and the builders act ignorant to it since they deal with a legal citizen (the boss of the crew). Now, without illegals those bosses cannot offer cheap labor, which forces builders to pay a normal price for labor workers. Paying more for contract labor increases the cost of homes which is why our home prices have greatly out performed the rest of the nation. I bet Arizona has also out performed the nation but only *IF* they really are removing the illegals. A law uninforced is worthless and we are enforcing it here.
