While if we do move, we’ll probably move to the Chandler area so that we can work in the Phoenix area. Prescott is the area that appeals to me most, but, unfortunately moving there, or Payson, or anywhere that far seems to limit my career options. Anyhow, here is a little song about Prescott. Not exactly my style of music, but it shows the area off.

If you go to the Prescott, Arizona Chamber of Commerce and click the video link, then fill out the form, you’ll get to see a better overall look at the town.
Meanwhile, things are still on hold here until we can figure a way to make up the difference between the mortgage cost, and what the house would likely sell for… well that and the fact we need a reliable car. I already have had people in the Phoenix area offer to help me find a job and sell me a home… I probably would have to skip buying for a while until I built up enough to make a down payment, no more zero down stuff as that adds too much to the loan and one of the reasons our current house cost more than it would probably sell for… Then again, the tax auditor values it more than the mortgage amount… of course they always appraise higher than actual value to make more taxes.

You are right — Prescott is a great place to live, but decent jobs are few and far between. Most of my tech friends here do consulting gigs. But in the meantime, you might enjoy revisiting the mountains via my blog…
