We just went for it. We built the home we wanted here and then went home to Ohio to sell our home up there. It took four months but we are here and loving it. One of my reasons is there is so much to do, buy and plan for went you move we didn't want to do it twice. Also, when you move into a new neighborhood, you make friends. It's nicer to not to have to start all over again in a new neighborhood. I tend to think in the "worse case scenario mode" and the worse thing that would happen is our home in Ohio wouldn't sell and we'd use it as a rental. Really, that wasn't terrible. Homes are now so affordable because of the low interest rates for mortgages. Unless you plan to pay cash you really want to think about what it would cost you. long term, if you get here after the rates go back up. Good luck with your decision and keep us informed.
