Moving is moving. 1 mile or 1000. We had the 1 mile too. It still sucked balls.
agreed. i've done both (not 1000, but longer moves) and the actual 'moving' from one place to the other isn't the issue. it's the packing, cleaning, packing, cleaning, trashing, giving away, selling, packing, cleaning... unpacking, unpacking, unpacking 3-4-5 years later unpacking... that's the problem.

I disagree, actually. Moving 1 mile is a lot easier than moving 1000 miles. Granted, either one sucks balls, but 1 mile sucks balls to a lesser degree. 

The reason, for me, is that a short (in town or close to it) move can be done without all the packing/unpacking. I.e. not that you can avoid packing, of course, but certain things that you have to pack VERY carefully if you trust them to movers can be packed much less carefully and hand-moved over the span of several days.

I'm talking about things like dishes, glassware, as well as bigger/bulky things like lamps, pictures, decorations, etc. A lot of that stuff you can just load up in the cars over and make trips yourself over 3-4 days, and then just have movers come in and take care of all the big heavy things like furniture and appliances.

Housing market is cooling off significantly here in SoCal. Many of the houses that I would have seen in the $700K+ range last year here in Mission Viejo (3+ bdr, 1500+ sq ft) are now going for low-mid $600Ks.

I'm still not moving there because tax rates won't be cooling off

Certainly not. It's painful.

Most of our stuff does nothing for us.  It's just stuff we either think we might need someday OR has sentimental value (or we think it does).

I remember keeping my kids' drawings from kindergarten, my old HS trophies, books galore, trinkets from vacations, so much stuff I ditched.

The only thing I wish I had kept is my flight bag.

after cleaning out my father's house after he passed and my grandmother's house after she was gone I understood that most things don't have much meaning

better to give them to someone that might be able to use them - Goodwill

Rumors when he entered the transfer portal, and then he withdrew. 

This will be interesting to follow.

That is interesting. He originally picked between Alabama and Michigan, but I think transfers are rarely so simple as calling up your old #2.

West coast has indeed seen some pullback.  Wsj piece this week was good w details.   I'm very pleased we did this sale this summer, and not next spring.   That's a long ways, lot can happen.   Midwest still a bit tight,  most markets just have a supply shortage at the middle price points.   Homes get scooped pretty fast around here.

Yeah, but probably buys 5bdr and 3500 sq ft, not 3bdr and 1500, in Round Rock.
