So earlier this year we started making plans to move from Salem Oregon to either Boulder City or Reno Nevada so that we would only be 1 day drive from the Grandkids in Salt Lake City vice the 2 day drive we have now. Also the tax situation was a lot better. Then my son told us that for a variety of reasons he was interviewing for jobs in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Ok adjust. We started looking at homes in NW South Carolina. We would only be a couple hours from the Grandkids. The tax situation is better for retirees in South Carolina vice North Carolina. Using REDFIN we looked at lots of places. Compared to Oregon, Houses are a lot cheaper in SC. We could get a similar House to our Oregon House but with an acre or 2 for about 1/2 what our Oregon House would sell.
Had to adjust again. My son got a lot better offer from a Firm in Chicago. Apparently he was Head Hunted. Besides paying for the move the Firm is helping in the sell of their House in Salt Lake City and the buying of a House in Chicago. The have bought a house in Oak Park. They are moving this week. They are staying in Corporate Housing until they Close the 2nd half of August.
This is my son's and DIL's 4th move in 5 years of marriage. We are staying put. Maybe after they have been in one place for 4 or 5 years we will rethink.
