Summergal, you're one smart girl. I couldn't agree with you more. As long as you can make a living, the most important thing is to be where you're happy. It's the most important thing in life.

Value is what someone sees in something. And It's not completely predictable. So, try to live where you are the happiest!! And...Enjoy!!
Like Jammie and all the rest said (including my prior post), "Live where you are the happiest!!"
You don't want to be living somewhere just hoping that you can make money when you sell your house 10-20 years later (especially if you do not like it).
So live where you want and maybe you will have made a sound investment in your home. You might enjoy and love it too much to sell it.
Only YOU can determine what area is best for you.

Another issue that has not been brought up (I think) yet is that Florida did have a housing boom before and then a huge bust back in the 1920s. I'm sure there were a lot of people back then asking themselves the same thing you are asking now. History repeats itself. In fact, part of the bust then was due to hurricane damage. If you don't like where you are, find where you want to be. Move there. Don't put your life on hold.
