We are planning to move to a place closer to my wife's school in Norman, Oklahoma, a college town 20 miles south of Oklahoma City. My commute time would not be affected much, so it will not be a problem.
We just started our search. We are asking our friends for suggestions and advice (thank you guys, you are so helpful and kind), and prioritizing what we want and not. It's time to prove that the time I watched HGTV was not a waste.
Come to think of it, I have lived in my current apartment for almost 10 years. I thought it would be shorter. I was single and was originally expecting to move to another city in 3-5 years, so that renting was my choice; buying and selling a house just seemed too much of unnecessary trouble. And lucky I escaped the housing bubble burst unscathed.
This time we will go renting again. I don't think a house is necessary until we really settle in and expand family.
Excluding short stays, current apartment is my 9th residence in my life. I am hoping the 10th one is a good one.
