Good little 'fixer-upper' there! Kind of rustic (more like rusty), but charming. I can just see the listing now... Beautiful little wooden cottage, 2 bedroom, 1 bath, with working fireplace. Needs a little loving care, but just right for that weekend handyman! :) Also perfect for horses, and zoned for other animals as well! Complete with own water tower - can't lose on this one!

I've been watching a place in Chino (brand new, next to other new places) go from $220 to $182K now. Waiting a little longer. I've been to every place you listed in your search. I LOVE Virginia, especially Damascus (from my hike on the AT). Santa Fe was amazing too, but way too pricey for what you get. NC is pretty, but really depends on where you go. If you like a larger town / city, but still want to be remote, look at Prescott. It's got a nice mix and balance. Houses in town are over priced, but the market here is beginning to correct too. Oh, and I've been in Phoenix during the summer.....woah, too hot. Thanks for checking out my Dreamstime shots too!

Yesterday Trump was on encouraging people to buy now, and sell in 6 months to a year from now. I'm already planning on selling within that time frame, as soon as I finish some tasty upgrades buyers have to have. I have no clue where to move. I'm researching on everything. Here, we have the highest carbon monoxide levels in the nation. Kind of bugs me. I never had breathing problems, but here I can feel the difference and I don't like it. It has to be from the volcanoes. I regret not buying in AZ 2 years ago. The market has really gone up in the areas I was looking at. I was looking at west side of phoenix, since I want to be a little different than everyone who is going to the trendy east side. I'm a semi city girl, semi recluse self employed, in business with my mom. My mom and I live next door to each other here, and we want to move buy 2 more newN homes side by side wherever we go. My list includes: Boise, northern NC, AZ, Colorado Springs CO, inland parts of Virginia and Santa Fe NM. I'm lost! Hopefully I'll make up my mind by the time the house sells! lol How much land would you get for $400k there?

Much more money to be made with the ostrich eh? I thought it was a lovely home, and I'm sure you could swing the $400,000. (don't worry about the lack of water thing at all...) ;) Thank you for such a fun day Rich! I tell you though, it was hard to see the Sycamore Canyon trail head and not go for a quick 2 hour hike, wasn't it? Of course, it will still be there another day...along with all of those wonderful camping sites! Then again, now that we have that great book, we'll have ton's of other places to choose from as well :) Good advice about the emus…that. Much more money to be made with the ostrich eh?
