I avoid those places entirely. A lot of people are moving down south because everything up here is becoming too impossible to afford. As a result, these places are going to sink or swim. Lower your rent and costs, or just stay abandoned and unused and start inviting crime once there's no one around to pay taxes. That's how it works! Sorry, but I'm not paying 800K-1M for a townhouse, but that's what they go for around here.

In the meantime, I always avoid the word "luxury." That to me is a red flag whenever they plop that in front of anything. "Luxury" houses, townhouses, apartments, condos, cars, whatever. You're paying extra for a word.
