I'm a planner, We have been through the area for at least 25 years and originally planned on retiring here. But that changed. Last year and this year we went on vacation and visited around the state and confirmed that we wanted the area. This summer we went and looked at land to buy. Found places we liked but most had an HOA that we didn't like. So we didn't buy.

I/we will probably go and find a house we like and put in an offer contigent on the sale of ours next spring.
