Default Cold Feet

Okay, we've found a pre-owned that we fell in love with on-line. We've been renting for two months in TV for the last six years, so we're pretty familiar with everything and really love visiting. However, when it came to signing the contract to purchase and realizing that we would be taking out a mortage. . . . I froze! The weird thing is, I can't figure out why!

the pros: We have good friend who live in TV and want us to move there.
We know about where we would like to live and we know what all
TV has to offer and really do love it.

the cons: We've decided to keep our home in OH so that would mean
taking out a mortgage, which we haven't had for a few years.
I must admit I love not having to watch my pennies as we had to
for many years with raising four kids.
We have six lovely grandchildren under the age of 8.

I can tell myself everything that I read here. . . how the kids will love to visit, etc., just can't seem to sign on the dotted line. My husband thinks there is something seriously wrong with me. I guess after I write this, it sounds like I'm not ready to make the move. . . and that makes me sad.

Did any of you have cold feet at any time in the process???

Feeling like a big chicken on Ohio.
