Decide Whether to Move

Still Deciding: Clarify Your Motives, Non-Negotiables, and Information Gaps

This pathway helps you organize what you know, what you do not know, and what matters most before you start browsing homes. The goal is a clear decision framework, not a yes-or-no answer.

What This Pathway Covers

This page is being developed. In the full guide, you will find:

Your actual reasons for considering a move. Are you leaving something, or moving toward something? The answer changes the criteria.
Non-negotiables. What must be true for a move to work for you? Proximity to family, specific healthcare access, school quality, climate tolerance, career proximity.
Risk inventory. What could go wrong, and what is your contingency for each scenario? Job change, health event, family need, market shift.
Information gaps to close before deciding. Which numbers, timelines, and professional opinions are missing from your current picture.

Professionals to consult: A tax professional (to compare state tax liability), an employer or HR contact (for remote work policies and compensation adjustments), a financial planner (for portfolio and retirement implications).
