    Quoted from IdahoRealtor:

    I'm getting my family out of CA. Nearly a done deal. House goes on the market in ~2 weeks. Ready to buy elsewhere.
    Tons of members on here I trust and respect. Would love for a bunch of you to chime in here.
    Here's our situation:
    We like Idaho a lot, but it looks like we're late to the party. We're seeing $800k properties in the greater Boise area we could've bought for $600k 3-4 months ago, I kid you not. It is out of hand there, and we're not keen to get bent over for $200k due to current market insanity. So, we're pushing pause on Idaho to look at Texas.
    Our needs:
    Being a Conservative family we wish to avoid any Blue, Progressive areas (sorry, mods. had to mention it for relevance).
    No tiny towns. Wife likes having some big box grocers, Target, Costco, Starbucks, etc. No big city living due to aforementioned libs/progressives and crime. So, upscale suburb or other?
    We like the outdoors. Rivers, lakes, greenery, camping areas, scenic areas, mountains are a plus. Idaho really shines in this aspect.
    A desirable and growing area for me to practice real estate.
    Great school system where they still say the pledge of allegiance, teach real history, and don't indoctrinate the kids
    Safety, cleanliness, nice public parks, etc
    3500-4000 sq ft w/game room and ideally a pool
    Budget:
    Probably $500k-$600k (big prop tax bill factored in)
    Texas is so big I figure this must exist there somewhere. Where should we be looking?

    Good for you! Smart move on your part. Outside of Nashville you can get a 4000 sq ft custom brand new house for $600k all day long. Look up MT. juliet TN. VERY CONSERVATIVE

    Quoted from gambit3113:

    Yeah, but we get buttfucked pretty good on proerty taxes. It all comes out in the wash.

    not really. Do you realize what the tax rates are in CA and NY? TX is still WAY better off.
