[quote=Anonymous]I would not underestimate the financial hit of selling a house you just bought and buying in the MoCo market again, which continues to be nutty.

I really understand where you are coming from. We moved back down here to MoCo from a smaller town up north that we loved -- the job opportunities were too good to pass up, but we sacrificed a lot in terms of neighborhood and community that we have yet to recover here and likely never will, because even our very small neighborly neighborhood is just not like the small town we were in. Nor are the schools here nearly as good as they are there.

Yet still...it's hard if not impossible to step in the same river twice. I would love to move back, but my kids are settled now, and moving would be devastating for them. They are happy and have great friends and great activities. Life is more stressful and more expensive here than it was there for me and my spouse, but the transition costs of selling the house we just bought and renovated 3 years ago plus the transition costs to my kids are just not worth it.

I would make more of an effort (although it sounds like you've really tried) to find a good fit for church/community and even a better fit for a working environment. Give it another year or two, and really try to improve what you can where you are, then see how you feel.[/quote]
