[quote=briansd1]I recall jazzman saying that he bought in Maui. And he’s looking to buy a house in France. Good choices.[/quote]
I recall the Maui post. But I’m always curious as to the motivation of someone who can afford some of Cali’s best areas, shops in those areas (or did they really?), purportedly REALLY wanted to stay in Cali, but then ends up buying somewhere else.
I feel if one can’t buy some semblance (even a fixer in the “right” location) of their “dream” retirement home in CA (even when they are in the fortunate position of having the money and/or is otherwise qualified to buy) in the current favorable environment of a combination of lower prices and rock-bottom interest rates, then they will never be able to. We are currently experiencing this incredible window of opportunity and no one really knows how long it will last.
