Are you familiar with the cost of living? One thing that Ma and my uncle wait to find out about each year is the COLA (cost of living adjustment.) We are lucky enough that we don’t live in a hot spot so our cost of living is somewhere in the middle. In fact according to the hot spot home buying map I recently checked out the median home price in Atlanta is $265,940.

Do you know where your city falls on the map? At least the largest major city? I bet it will surprise you.
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

We’re about to embark on a big move, and one of the things we considered was the cost of living in our new location. So much more goes into the decision than just home prices! And in your situation, you’ll be looking at school districts and availability of health care, etc. So many things to consider–good luck.

I”m glad that I’ve been in my home long enough (32 years) to have my mortgage paid in full.

Cost of living was one of the reasons I moved to Texas. I didn’t know the hot spot home buying map even existed!
