Thanks for sharing that anecdote, Mike.
Nothing wrong with the midwest, Though if I had that much snow I would want to be near some mountains!

My ex moved from Arkansas to PA, they had a huge brick house with custom tile work etc. They were able to sell that and get a POS McMansion that started falling apart after a year of ownership (1" settlement cracks)

They move to Tennessee and were able to buy a huge house again.

People forget location determines a lot.
