No, supply and demand have not balanced out.
From what I've heard here in South America, a common salary goes from 25 - 50 US$/hr for experienced remote freelance developers. That works out to a pretty decent salary that's above local market rates.
The keys are:
- good English
- experienced developers
- above local market rates (but usually below market rates where the client lives)
I expect this market to continue to evolve and expand, there's really no reason for it not to.
