Sure you're not talking about California?
VR, I learned a long time ago that smaller wasn't cheaper. You're best hope is a snobby neighborhood's poorer district, especially if it's full of senior citizens, the way things are today, teardowns can't get financing, so you might be able to get a deal.
The best time to buy is when nobody can sell anything. Assuming you have a lot of money to start with.... (I'm only a first cousin to a shark, honest!)
