I think there's markets everywhere. Templates will always be templates. Some people will pay for a simple update of a template and adding the content. Sadly, there's plenty of firms that pass off templates as their own, original work. You can't compete with the "designer" that can only add content to templates and, again sadly, there are many clients that are fine with that.
There's a middle ground market where people will pay for a decent custom site. What it's built on doesn't matter so much, as long as there's a CMS system (there's some really nice custom WP sites out there).
The problem with templates is that there are some really nice ones. To make a custom website look as smooth as some templates would cost a lot (smooth animations, etc.). Maybe it's just attention to detail, but that's been my observation.
