I mean, aren’t these the hard parts? If I could easily move jobs, I would move without much thought.

If you don't know much about the area I would strongly suggest finding a place you can rent month to month even if it is not your ideal location and then getting to know the area for a month or two
It makes choosing the place you are going to actually live for maybe a very long time much easier and way more than worth it.
No idea how people go in blind to a city they know nothing about. Imagine the missed opportunities on your perfect neighborhoods/homes/apartments one never had the chance to find out about.

Shouldn't be hard at all if you can either:
-Have the new job already lined up, move to an apartment in the new state on a 6-12 month lease, and afford to continue paying the mortgage at the same time in case the house takes longer than you hoped to find a buyer
-Sell your house first, put your shite in storage, and move in with a relative for the short term until you get the job and apartment lined up out of state.
ETA: I would rent a place first just so you have time to learnt the area and its a lot easier than trying to time out the sale, purchase, and new out of state job all at the same time

It can be stressful depending on where you are in life. It definitely wasn't easy for us when we moved to Houston 7 years ago from Baton Rouge. We needed to find a job for my wife, sell our house in BR before buying one in Houston. Not to mention we had a 3yo at the time and she was pregnant with #2. It was definitely a rough 6 months getting everything lined up and finalized. At one point she was living with her brother in Houston and our daughter and I was living with her parents in Mississippi for about 2 weeks between selling house 1 and closing on house 2. I dont regret it though.

I wouldn’t say you need a half year to plan, but the timing of everything can be difficult. If you’re completely unfamiliar with the area, you’re going to need to hire a good realtor that knows school zones, etc. I found that involving myself immediately with the community was a great way to make new friends and start building a new life.

Single with no kids, not very hard.
In a relationship with no kids, harder, but doable.
Married with kids—be awful and even more of a bitch the older they get, I would assume

I moved to Dallas area without ever visiting other than vacation. I got lucky. Hopefully you have time. I didnt

Sell, move, rent. Pretty easy concept. After a year or so, buy in an area you’ve learned to prefer.
Most companies give big moving allowances and do all the work for you making it even easier.

I did it on a whim after graduating college with 500 bucks to my name and no job/offer in sight.
To this day the dumbest thing I did but it worked out. Where there’s a will there’s a way.

Finding a house isn’t too bad unless school systems come into play. The. It can be hard because you’re limited to a certain geographical area. That’s the hardest part.

If you have a house just rent for 6 months in new state.
Why do people act like living in a nice apartment for a few months while learn an area is trashy?

My company paid for the relocation, otherwise I would not have done it...
