Question for those who have started a new job in a location 1+ hour from current location
Newish attending, will be 2 years out when I plan to start my new job (Fall 2027). Changing jobs to be closer to family and in a location where we plan to stay long term.
Goal is to move only once from current location to our new house (ideally) but housing market where we plan to move to is extremely, extremely competitive. Current rental and work contract ends around August 2027.
When would you seriously start looking for a new job and interviewing, as well as applying for a mortgage to look for housing?
My fear is having a job lined up next Fall but with no where to live.
Any other tips or input is appreciated, thanks.
