Charleston is world class.. people literally from all over the world.Portlandia gets a lot of out of area buyers as well. refugee's from LA and SF... and a lot of mid western folks looking for better weather.

Ok, one more question-- the O&E file shows property taxes due which I know have to be paid weather I foreclose or get DIL.

Both have some very useful statistics and City-Data has an open forum for locals to make comments concerning their specific city when it comes to housing, weather, jobs, traffic etc.

Now is a good time, as the weather is warming up, and those will are likely to hang out outside of the store will start coming out.

I don't really care what the weather is like.

The weather is sometimes a reason for southern cities, not for MKE.

Indianapolis and Kansas City both weathered the 2008 housing crisis much better than most markets.

It will be very interesting to see if the foreign investors, many of whom rely on oil revenue for their wealth, will continue to bid up Miami real estate prices.As for your question, I would rather move to SoCal, much better weather.

Thanks Bruce, Kelly,I live in a midwestern city that I love dearly but has been on the steady decline and I badly want to move (think rust belt, cloudy days, and cold weather).  

Sorry to sound so harsh.
