You've got plenty of good reasons to stay, however, but the mass exodus from the state that we have all been reading about says something about the overall desirability of it. I know you can buy homes there pretty cheap, right?? :W
This coming from a realtor on the coast? I guess that it is all relative but I just saw an add down the beach from you a bit in Mexico Beach for a 0.1720 acre lot on the canal. $64,900! No structures! That is $377,325 per acre! I would sell 20 whole acres for that price where I live. That is why I don't live on a coast.
Yup, people can ASK whatever they want to, but what will it really SELL for, if at all? The stories I could tell you!!
Around here, much like about anywhere, acreage that's not on the coast is very reasonably priced.
Yeah ... and a lot of the acreage that's on the coast better be a bit above the coast if you want your grandkids to inherit acreage that's not underwater. ;)
For long term living it's all a tradeoff ... so pick your poison:
1. Do you want land that will eventually have water on top of it?
OR
2. Do you want land that may wind up all black because the green stuff on it burned up?
OR
3. Do you want land that may wind up at crazy angles because the ground got all shook up?
OR
4. Do you want land this right in the middle of busy roads, other dwellings, close fire and police stations, crime hotspots, and only enough square inches in size to plant a dandelion plant on it?
OR
5. Do you want land with high winds, lightning storms, no obtainable underground water, rattlesnakes, scorpions, sagebrush, and desert bluffs for a view?
OR
6. Do you want land that's most of the time too hot to go outside during the day?
OR
7. Do you want land outside a small town - with none of the above - but otherwise often inhabited by too many folks on drugs or messed up with other downside issues?
I guess that's the most wonderful thing about RV'ing with or without a toad ... one can change "the land they're on" whenever they want. :)
