bwar doesn't want to move here.  He'd absolutely hate the weather.
Admittedly I'd be moving despite the weather... I agree I would hate it during the summer. 

But it's still MILES better than what I grew up with in Chicago... I hated that weather roughly 10 months of the year.

But, I hear everyone's leaving California, so rents & house prices should start dropping like a rock any day now, which changes the calculus...
Hope you're right but those legislative lampshades will find a way to violate the constitution further and take everything not nailed down or the IRS beat them to

I have a friend originally from Detroit, he lives here now.  He visited there recently and said the recovery was amazing.  Apparently there is a point where prices drop so far that it attracts people to move in and rehab the homes.  We see this around here with areas "gentrifying" of course.

Those places aren't cheap now.

Need some … some kind of birds who bounce between Florida and the Austin area. Preferably from northeast and west coast states.

There is not much in the way of cheap in any desirable place to live.

I was shocked about a month when a realtor knocked on my door and gave me an offer. The amount almost made me fall over, and then she upped it significantly more when she saw what we've done to the place.

We could sell it, sure, but where they hell are we gonna go?

I image @Honestbuckeye and @Mdot21 are in even better shape as they have been here longer.

No, we don't. About 2 more months of this crap before they go home.

Funny you mention that.  I had that happen to me a couple times back during the pandemic.  One time was actually a guy from New York who just wanted to buy the house    he knocked on the door and introduced himself and offered me a great deal of money over what I think the house is worth.  Same dilemma. Yes, the money would be great but where the hell would I go? 

Probably like 
most of you I still get those automated sales texts that say click here for an offer on your house.

I get the occasional letter from somebody claiming they want to buy this place and will make an offer.  As noted above, I'd have to buy something else somewhere and probably come out worse for the wear.

If I win Powerball I've already picked out the house I'd like to make an outlandish offer on.

I'd stay where I'm at, probably do a few upgrades.

I'd see how long I could go without having anyone find out that I won.

I've always wondered the logistics of legally changing my name to something generic like John Smith, accepting the prize, and then legally changing my name back to my real name.

Could that make me less of a target?
