Downsize before you move! We began doing that in January, and though it was a dreadful process (no longer have some very sentimental stuff) it feels good! We're in 1860 (finished) square feet now and anticipate going into something like The Hammock at 1500-plus square feet. We're going to be able to move from Iowa to Florida in a 16' rental truck for about $1200. That doesn't count the couple fellas we'll hire to do the loading for us. Mostly boxes, so it shouldn't take them long.

We'll start house-hunting May 21 and I'm open to all options.
