Thank you for this very valuable information. My first suggestion to my husband was to rent our home in CA or just leave for a certain amount of time, visit AZ where some family resided, check out the area, and see for ourselves if we really wanted to move to AZ. Well long story, last summer we sold our beautiful home in CA and moved to Phoenix area. My children who resided in AZ moved away, and we don't see the other grandchildren (adults) very often (they are young busy with their friends) So we have been renting (we are on 3rd rental) since June of 2023 til now. we are paying for storage that is getting very expensive. We thought we would find a house to purchase right away. The market is crazy and the prices are not what we had expected, again, our fault for being too busy packing, donating, cleaning, sprucing up yard, etc... and moving, to keep a close eye on the market. Needless to say, it appears that everything has gone wrong and I am miserable renting furnished homes. it feels like our lives are on hold. Let this be a wake up call for those wanting to move. By the way we are retired and on retirees income. Now we don't see the avenue to afford a CA home and return to the nice climate that we so much enjoyed, It is an oven here and the humidity is miserable. I wish I had seen this information, that is SO valuable before moving. Great advice and ALL of it true and real! (Southern CA,)

Victoria, thanks so you so much for your feedback and sharing your experience. We feel for you. It's not uncommon to have the "Grass is greener" mentality when it comes to retirement and choosing to move out of state. Stories like yours are exactly the reason we felt a need to share this info. Here's hoping you'll find the perfect place soon. Thanks again for sharing this valuable insight.
