Check out Zillow.com, it's been pretty useful for us in getting some ideas on which areas we're most interested in.
Yeah, good prices in TN. Taxes are good. The sales tax, about 9%, is high, but there is no state income tax. The death tax is high, but if you maintain your other citizenship, not much worry there. Property taxes vary bt county, but the highest isnt bad. Of course, everything will be cheap here compared to Kiwi land, at least from my 2 week experience over there. Not that it stops everyone from complaining how high taxes are and how expensive everything is, lol.
Yea man cost of living is very high here in NZ, guess that is to do with we are so far away from the rest of the world
