we are placed right in between two other "trendy" towns that have a fair amount of tourism (although this town does not especially attract tourists the neighboring ones do) and we would be walking distance to the restaurants.I really like your thought on the mobile being 50 years old in 12 years though. good thing for me to ponder. 

It is so hard for me to hold back on not replacing something, just so it looks newer or more trendy (for example, swapping light fixtures and door knobs when the ones there might be okay .... or wanting to swap all switches and outlets to Decora when the standard ones already there just need to be cleaned real good). 

Here it's trendy to live in the close in older neighborhoods.  

The opposite trend is occurring, where permits are greatly exceeding household formation.

I would agree with Columbus, as you can see in this picture the trend is upward!

@Jamie RoseHere's the comparison to Anchorage and where I currently own rentals and I've also flipped houses in these area as well.Appreciation from 2018- YTD since I think a 3 year trend is more telling than just a single yearAnchorage, AK is 13.84%, August 2020 vs August 2021 is 1.83% appreciationRedmond, OR is 63.63%, August 2020 vs August 2021 is 26.7% appreciationPrineville, OR is 53.75%, 2nd quarter 2020 vs 2nd quarter 2021 is 47.6% appreciationRents- I can buy something for $150-200K renovate it and rent for $1895 or I have a property I bought for $329K new construction in 2017 that rents for $2350 and is now worth $489K.

The overwhelming trend is people are moving out of big metropolitan areas to medium or small metropolitan areas.

Watch out for trendy backsplash styles and things that won't stay timeless.

You're saying the trend is that business are moving to Arizona?

What is trendy in Boise, may not work in Miami.
