Well its LESS HOTTER here than back in AZ that is for sure!!!!!! Even with the humidity its not as bad as you all complain about which I then laugh at you...........Go live in the desert right now you will come crawling if not running back to Florida.......HOT IS hot and ours is very deadly due to the dryness.......STORMS? well AZ has had some pretty bad storms thru the years and we get tons of flooding when it does rain and lightening there is equally as bad...lots of microbursts too.......BUT there isnt nearly as much to do back there like here either........so its not goes without saying no place is really perfect anymore as the US is evolving and not for the better either........the whole world has gone nuts along with everyone in it just pick a place that suits you for now.......
Trying to sell? If, it is not selling the question is It is BROKER, PRICE, CONDITION.
Mortgages are high and hard to get. That reduces not want you want to get but what it can be sold for. People often do not realize it costs you money to keep a home you are not using. On top of that their is the value of the equity. Money Market you can even now get 5%

No place was ever perfect. It is said youth is wasted on the young. Endless news.
When, I was working I was working too many hours to have time for it.
