The only real estate upside to Mars is a tenuous wisp of atmosphere. Other than that, the Moon is superior in every way.

I'd consider a Moon colony, a floating Venus colony, a Titan colony or a space station. You couldn't pay me enough to go anywhere else, since there's nothing there to spend it on anyway.

Liquid water under Mars' surface could be a huge upside if we can confirm it's there and figure out how to get to it
