This is a nice house, I hope it sells. Your idea is decent that someone from CA could cashout and buy your property, however most the people on this board believe that there is lots of speculative activity in many markets nationwide (myself included). Why is someone selling a big beautiful home only 2 years after custom construction? Was there high appreciation these last two years in the region? Was this appreciation driven by market fundamentals (higher wages and rents)? I believe there are similar size/priced homes in regions of southern CA far from economic centers (Victorville comes to mind).
Now to address the the location bashing: you like TX, I like SoCal. Maybe you ride horses, personally I ride waves (and it doesn’t take me long to get to the beach, I see it from my front window). I am sure each location has it’s ups and downs.
