Don't you just adore MI country-side? When prices bottom out I'll move there just for the fishing, hunting, and real estate appreciation. Just think -- only 4 more years to wait

I wonder what the average would be in factoring out Detroit and Saginaw?
I don't think even Michiganders are willing to give up Detroit or Flint for the sake of average home prices. You know, if you throw out those two triple bogeys I seem to get every time I golf, I would be nearly a scratch player! Gotta count 'em all
