Warmer climate investing trends

[Christopher DeLucien]

Hello As a newbie investor, and one who is actively trying to fill gaps in my knowledge, I am curious to know if anyone is actively investing in the warmer climate states (IE: Texas, Florida). If so, what sort of seasonal trends should I expect to see in the market as compared to states up north? I used to live in Maryland, and so for me, I am familiar with the idea that most people do not actively search for homes in the winter months.... Is this trend reversed in states with warmer winter months? Is it reversed for the blistering summer months as well? Are there other factors that influence these decisions? What drives people to suddenly buy down south? Any thoughts or ideas are greatly appreciated!
