Movin' On Up.
Here's how to blow a dozen perfectly good weekends: Decide to move. Sure, we all want to improve our circumstances, but few people actually relish the process of choosing a new apartment to rent or house to buy, packing up their respective belongings, arranging transport, unpacking, rearranging...you get the picture.
Lo and behold, we've found some great Web sites and AOL areas that are guaranteed to make moving less of a chore. You can browse prospective neighborhoods and get a feel for pricing before you ever interface with a single real estate agent. What's more, when you finally are ready to start looking in earnest, you'll be armed with the facts.
Now, get moving.
