Georgia may be your pick for a warm-climate retirement. Southern Georgia, along with southern Alabama and the Florida panhandle, are said to have good overall values in real estate now as they were not as affected as other states in the bubble in real estate home prices.  And if you like to golf, some of the best golf communities are here.
