I get that being a terrible thing to happen. I wouldnât sell my house because someone else made a bad choice. But we are all different in a lot of ways. I respect someone doing what hey need to do. There was a saying that is still being said at times. Doors being locked are for the intruders protection

No, not for the reason described in the story, not for fear of a potential intrusion, The wife and I have a lot of training and continue to train. HOWEVER! The topic of moving to a red state comes up between us more and more. We live in the country and are fortunate to live in a predominantly red county, but our poor state of Michigan has lost itâs damn mind politically. We talk about moving to Tennesee, we love riding motorcycles around Tellico Plains area and have often wondered if we could find work down there, But as for being run off by bad guys? nah. Just bad politicians.

Too damn old to move again - Iâve done that too many times. Besides, I donât âtraumatizeâ easily. I certainly wouldnât be happy jf I shot someone but I would know it was necessary
Sòmone said bad politicians was reason to move and can agree. That and lake effect snow are why we left NY.

All we can say, it was good the home owner & his family are okay & safe. It important that we all carry in our own homes. At any given time a threat my be in your home. And it doesnât matter if its night or day. And most of us get relaxed at home because our home is the safe place to be. Comfort, love & protection. But we have to understand & know we have to protect our home to be safe & secure. Years ago we never had to worry about being safe in our homes. i remember my parents going away to a store, leaving the house unlocked, same with the car. Go on vacation, house unlocked. any more we all have to stay safe at home as well as on the streets in our everyday life. And I would not move, no reason to move. Crime is everywhere, so where will you move, No such thing safe place to live any more,

Would I move?
In 2011 my house was shot at on 4 different occasions. I still live here. They are going to have to get half the Vatican to exorcise me from this place.

In todayâs real estate market never. If I sold my home I would get a lot of $ in comparison to what I sold it for. However I would not be able to get as good/large a home for the money (at least in my current city and state) nor an interest rate as low. Apartments are about the same, you may not be able to get a lower lease payment than you could with another apartment or home. I get it, but psychological help may be the best thing to do. If you need to move because of the trauma, you probably have a lot more going on that you are unaware of. Why compound a psych issue with a financial one?

We sold last week for to much money, we close next week in south Mississippi. Down sized and bought cash, no more house payment.

Awesome! Wise decision as well. However in some states a death in the house is a disclosure item that may reduce the asking price. Also in my area few homes available in the under $1,000,000 category. Bad time to move unless you are downsizing and have the time to look and find a deal.

This reminds me of the old jokeâŚ
A guy heard most crime happens within 5 miles of your home, so he moved.

Look at the mean altitude at sea level - it can range from 2Kâ to 12Kâ - look at mean temperatures, and its water situation. Look for a site that lists the best places to live in NM - youâll certainly find a more detailed breakdown.

I cannot afford the best places to live in New Mexico. I guess I will have to look elsewhere!
Where in NM are you searching to live? Rio Rancho area is not too bad.
