First order of business: 1) talk to a realtor; 2) get an appraisal; 3) start to clean out; 4) do more research on TV; and finally, 5) get in touch with where we want to be. Sounds like a plan. Hey...we got a plan!
If you are fully retired and have some ambivalence I'd suggest a 3-6 month rental... I have a very close friend who also was "this close" to buying a house here but was a bit overwhelmed by the size of the place. They rented for 4 mos over the winter and decided they wanted a quieter lifestyle, less traffic etc. They ended up retiring in Pa and travel during the yucky months.
