Not quite in the official process yet but been doing initial scouting of areas to see what’s the right fit. Hard to nail down a particular location given there’s so many variables, not to mention how it all comes down to market availability.

My wife and I have managed to identify a few areas we like that should have some homes at our price point. Now we're just monitoring listings and waiting to jump on the right one.
It may be different where you live, but in our area, it's definitely a seller's market.
Nice! From what I hear, properties get snatched up quick because there’s so many people “passively” in the market with apps like Zillow, Redfin, etc. now. Previously, people would formally enter the housing market and the pipeline was ~30 days with a possible bidding war. Nowadays because of the number of people on the sideline at all times, it can take even up to a year to find a home from when one first starts. Crazy.
