Mine dropped $25K when I moved from Seattle to KY. That was about a 15% drop. But the cost of living is much lower here. Heck, even gas is about 30 cents a gallon cheaper. I also pay about 2/3 in real estate taxes per year, what my friends in Seattle pay per MONTH.
Add to this growing our own chickens for eggs, a couple of beef cattle and a 1/4 acre garden (and the occasional wild turkey and deer that wanders by our house), and life is very good.
Sounds like you made a terrific choice!(hopefully no liberal voters followed you). Just don’t tell anyone back in Seattle how good you have it in KY. :p
