If you are sure you are going to move I recommend the following. 1. Sell the house. 2. Find a job 3. Move.
You need an income. Even if you have savings why burn through it. Especially in todays slower housing market, sell the house. Try for a longer escrow, 30, 60 maybe 90 days. Depending on the buyer a longer escrow period may benefit them as well. When the house closes move into a rental. Rents are generally lower than mortgages so you might be saving a few bucks while job hunting. You should start looking for a job right away just to get familar with the job market. But when the house hits escrow jump into the job market with both feet. Once you find a job move. You now have cash in hand from the sale of your house. You don't have to worry about making a house payment on the old house while still having a house payment or rent in the new location. If it takes you 6 months or a year to sell your house your safe, your not eating into savings. If it takes you 6 months or a year to find a job your safe, and probably saving a few bucks in the short term. When you find a job you are able to relocate on short notice because you've already sold your house. The primary problem is that this can add time to your move, but if you have a family and need stability to keep you or the family from getting to anxious, I would think this would be the order of events I would choose. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
