Just curious what led you to that decision, DW and I are agonising over the same choice. I hate to sell an appreciating asset to acquire a depreciating one.
Setting off in our 'old' fiver, (and it will be really old by the time we're ready to pull the pin) is not my ideal plan, not that there's anything really wrong with it.
To be honest, it started with a rock climbing accident. Two years ago I fell and was very seriously injured which led to the end of my working career. Now on Homeland Security disability but at my age, (60) I will be on my regular retirement soon. The physical limitations are pretty severe.
Anyway, no job, wife retired, heck, let's go. Plus the real estate market is much better. We sold the house in three days at list price. Last year we camped in northern Washington state, Port Angles area, in the "rain shadow". We loved having the straits of Juan De Fuca in front of us and the Olympic mountains at our back. We "think" we want to live there but are not committed to that location.
So, we roll. Who knows where or when.
