We bought in the south thinking it would be a wise investment. Even after you subtract all the associated costs of moving and selling, we were right, and the resales around us have been sold in days. It is a very desirable area and it's nice to have new everything. The Florida climate is really hard on houses, roofs, plastic window frames, etc. With a new or almost new house you don't have to worry about replacement for years.
