wow, thanks for the replies ladies. I hadn't even thought of the administration's effect on the housing market. That's more food for thought....

anyhow, I am in MA and want to go to NH. I love winter and want to be able to ski without a 3 hr commute each way. We've been back here since '88 and I'm antsy again. Jobs here on Cape Cod suck. Mostly service related and seasonal. No big business or industry.

If I were to move and start my own company, it's something a friend is doing here already and I promised I would not compete. I would rather have her as my mentor than my enemy!

We'd be less than 3 hours from my parents and daughter, and in one more year my son will be going away to college. He's leaning to Champlain College in VT, so that's just 3 hours in the OTHER direction.

I need the $$ from this house to get the IRS off my back and to start up our company. It will be inventory intensive from the beginning. Also have to do the advertising and brochures. I'll make sure to post them as soon as the web site is up and running. It's gonna be great! Just the house selling part that scares me.......
