Be sure you factor in your new income into what you pay for your mortgage now. I looked into moving back to Winnipeg last year; selling my place and being mortgage free. Then I looked at what my IT job paid there- at least $10/hr less. So $1600 per month, or about $1100 after taxes. Which was the same as my mortgage payment.
And I still have people telling me "but you'll be mortgage free!"
