Downsizing Dilemma....

My neighbor across the street was offered 1.5M for his house and he turned it down. Gorgeous home with Chinese rugs, marble floors, gold chanderliers(SP), and a movie theater. Great family, nice kids and the most generous people. A 3/4A lot but no garage?? Not a car guy!

....So the time of year should not be a problem if the house is in a good location and well priced. I love stone houses and probably would buy that in a heartbeat. I guarantee you someone else will, too. ....
If you click on the Zillow "street view", you will see that they owner had very good taste in sports cars when the "spring" pic was taken
If there are interesting updates, I'll come back to this thread in the days/ weeks ahead. It's happened to them so fast that it's like a soap opera.

My wife and I have moved a couple of times to remain close to our children only to have them relocate in quest of better career opportunities or because of significant events. Our children are young, they’re mobile, they’re forward looking and we don’t expect them to remain static for our behalf; after all…they have their own lives to live and develop. And now…they’re moving once again.
Our chase has finally concluded, we’re presently looking for a desirable home (probably smaller) at a location that will pleasure us and we’ll visit when we can. Either Skype or Face Time will need to fill the void.

I think if I moved away from here I would come to realize I do live in a great place. I love my house, view, weather, and the close proximity to the beaches and bike trails, but I also want to be closer to earth that isn't covered with pavement and traffic lights. I think my son will be married within a couple of years and have babies. He's already telling me he wants me to come babysit. It's all just playful thoughts right now.

My bro's two boys have left the nest now. One is in Seattle and the other headed to Chicago. Bro is still working, so not sure if he were to retire they would stay in AZ. I think it's a good idea to base where you want to live on you, not your kids. As you and skunk said, they are a moving target. You said it was more expensive up around Mountain View. That is Silicon Valley, right? Lots of big money there!
