So.

We're selling the house. With a little luck, we can stay in this area and continue to have access to good schools.

With a little more luck, a child will actually show up to justify our worrying about the quality of schools.

With gobs and gobs of luck, we'll both be working soon and will have money coming in, so we can get the house ready to sell without going too far into debt.

Please send good thoughts.

2 You might want to be on the lookout (in order to flee from) schools that may be, well, tainted (see www.mwilliams.info/archives/005650.php)

4 Don't forget to budget for higher property taxes where you end up buying. You really want to avoid Mello-Roos (higher tax) districts. Rule of thumb is to multiply the purchase price by 1.25% and divide by 12 to figure your property tax hit. Don't forget homeowner assoc. fees, they can be steep. Also, get a quote from your ins. broker about the increase in that as well. With this information you guys will be able to get a no shit assessment of what you can afford. Best of luck to you both.
