What do I need to know before moving to Cuenca?

"Make a trip here first and look around, meet some local people, meet some real estate agents. Research a lot before you move," commented one expat who made the move to Cuenca.
"Take your time to look around and if you find something that just jumps out at you take it. You will know if it feels right. Don't wait as if you do when you go back it will probably be gone.
