Walton County is Where America's Money is Moving

I was very surprised to read that Walton County home of Seaside, Rosemary Beach, WaterColor and Alys Beach made the Forbes top list list of where the rich are moving to. Walton County was number 5…and I am really not that surprised.  It is a pretty simple formula:

 

Sunshine + warm weather + world's most beautiful beaches + incredible real estate buys + low taxes = Walton County

We recently got hooked on House Hunters International on HGTV. We continually are amazed at how little value you get with top dollar prices on homes across the globe. Each episode I find myself repeating, "Wow, they need to come to Scenic 30-A…do you know what you can buy for $1.2mil along the Emerald Coast."

Fortunately, we are not the only one that thinks Walton County is a top place to relocate as they rank 5th among Forbes list.
