Maybe I should buy a new pair of eyeglasses or check the voter cards of my neighborhood. But, I do not have to. I ACTUALLY LIVE in the north and am not watching from afar. What do some of you not comprehend? Preowned homes come available EVERY DAY because the owners have passed, are widowed, extremely ill, or have gone to assisted living. Realtors do not advertise this because they believe it will scare off potential buyers. Today there are approx 400 preowned homes for sale on MLS. What do you think happened to the owners?
They are jealous of the south? And now, want to move there?
Get a grip on reality. We are an elderly population. We are ALL headed to the same place. None are going to escape it! In a few years, residents in the older southern neighborhoods will become a certain age. Maybe then, you will understand. When this happens, who do you believe will buy their homes? Think hard! (If you need help, answer is: younger retirees) Our demographics change EVERY DAY.
BTW, living next to a few older residents has an advantage. They are a wealth of reliable information. You can easily avoid the mob mentality and mistakes of the younger generations.
Example: you are in need of medical attention and are not certain where to go. Who would you rather be living beside? Someone who has experienced the same issue with great results. Or, a younger neighbor who just moved here and likes the smile of their new doctor?
