Well my husband finally got an update on the possible job situation. The people who interviewed want him in the position but have moved the start date to July. Well it gives us more time to get the house market ready and more time to enjoy @bbqguys smoked meats! 4951

Not fun. I will say this though, it will make you guys a lot wiser. I hated moving to PA but hindsight I learned a lot of things getting  to know people. I would also look into renting your home yourself instead of selling. That's what I did, it was scary but I did it and it worked out great. Ended up moving back after a few years. So glad I didn't sell it. People thought I was crazy renting it from that far away but it can be done.    4951

@taramay:
Still traveling but he will just be traveling in Georgia, Al, MS, LA and TN. Maybe Florida. So shorter flights as well as some driving. And shorter stays at those locations so he will sleep at home more than just weekends. And a much bigger salary. 4951

@beastmode:
No thanks. I want to cash out on the good market now before it crumbles with low gas prices. 4951

Yeah, it depends on the situation. I bought this clunker end of 08, got such a great deal. It had been on the market for 6 months. Seller even dropped the price another 10K. Pretty much stole it so selling it was not the smart thing for me. Home is worth way more now. 4951

You will need the money from the sale of your house for a home in Atlanta for sure.  Their housing costs are higher than ours.Do rent for at least 6 months to a year before you buy, if you can.  You want to find the location and school district you like and want to be in.
 
@Fallon:
I have found that the home prices in Atlanta burbs are about the same as Kingwood area. At least in the areas we want to live. There are places that are higher like in Dunwoody and Decatur but we don't want to live there. And yes we will rent for at least a year for sure.

@foxymama: In 1967 we moved from Long Island to Dunwoody, well actually Dunwoody North. Coming from New York it felt like the Beverly Hillbillies in reverse.  Very southern and small townlike then. I sold my parents home in 2010 after they died. They bought it for $36K in '67 and it ended up selling for $350K, an almost 10 fold increase. Be nice if you can find a nice neigborhood not too far from the airport if he flies a lot. The airport is on the south side and traffic is really horrible. But they do have a good subway/train service so you could live elsewhere if he is willing to take MARTA to the airport.
