Now I'm trying to sell it for $464K and it seems to be getting some interest, but you guys down there (except for New York, LA, and some other really premium places) pay less than half to get a much bigger house with all the same or better finishes.

And you have better weather generally - least in the lower half.

Why do I live here again?
you would be house mad if you knew what could buy here in Houston for $440K.

imagine a compound with 5 or 6 bedrooms - a 10-12ft deep pool with about 2.5 acres of land - driveway the size of 15 parking spaces at Target - exterior lighting to shine on your house - concrete patios that look like they are straight from a magazine - 3600sqft house on a 25000 sqft lot - etc

here's a quick search i did - them houses tho !!!!
