Rather than buying a house in a location to fit your "off season", I would recommend buying a house in a location that you'd enjoy in any time of year. You never know if after a few months, something happens and you can't travel anymore - you don't want to end up miserable because you're living in an oven or freezing your a## off.
That's an excellent point. I have been thinking the same thing. I may buy small, pay cash, at least I can minimize the risk if I was to sell for whatever other reason. Which of course get tougher the older we get.

That way, you could vary your travel period also. Summer & Fall one year to visit much of Canada and Northern US; Winter for southern locations; Spring for west coast; etc. If you decide 6 months is longer than you want to be gone at one time, you could do 3-4 month trips with 1-2 months at home in between (might be nice if there are grandkids around, etc.).
Great advice.
