What are your interests - obviously quilting, but what else? What medical plan do you have? What medical problems/disabilities do you have, if any? Any financial pitfalls? Where do grandchildren live? Do you like to travel?
All of these should factor into your decision. I personally like to own a couple of homes. One in an area where it's warm and comfortable in the winter and one where it's fairly comfortable in the summer. It's fairly easy to buy the Park Model homes in different areas (read about a woman who had one in Florida and one in Connecticut).
We have a home in Northern California and one in the desert area of AZ. I'm looking at maybe finding another home in the midwest near my grandchildren. I really prefer spending three or four months in an area and then going somewhere else for a few months. Spending a lot of my time near my children/grandchildren/great grands is fun, but wears you out. I like my downtime.
