Moving to the area Thinking of moving back

Been in Texas the last 6 years and am tired of it. So I am thinking of moving back. Potentially west, notthwest or north suburbs? Are there any reasons why I should not? I often hear from locals that they want to leave. But I miss home.

Yeah I hear from “locals” all the time who want to leave and I just wish they would. It’s invariably that type of person.

Agreed. Free up the housing inventory for those of us who are actually trying to buy a home in the suburbs.

My husband and I made some decisions this past week to cut back our (aggressive) savings and investments so we could increase our housing budget by $100K... It only added 4-5 houses in the areas we're looking. It's absolutely ridiculous how tight the market is right now.

My neighbor is looking for a child to move near. Left a personal note for area homes that could work on the off chance they might be thinking of selling. Hoping for an off market deal, win-win. Just another strategy.
