Rent first, in both places so you can compare. The husband and I looked at Scottsdale, Arizona as it has a vibrant artist community which I absolutely adore, but summer temperatures there are hotter than Hades and the dry heat doesn’t make it easier. We checked out TV in the summer too (at its least delightful weather). I figured if my hubby can take it then, he’ll love it the rest of the time.
If you are concerned about possible price increases, rent first to determine if both of you are ok with the area and lifestyle and then you can buy and rent your house to others until you can retire to it.
