GreatPlacesToRetire |
Compare the average price of a home in your favorite retirement city or town to home prices in the nearest big city. If that retirement city home is less than the big city home (less than 100% on the Affordability Index*), then you may have found yourself a bargain community that is poised for rising home values for the future.
Kingston, New York and Concord, New Hampshire may be the bargain places you are looking for.
