Thinking about leaving California for a lower cost of living, more space, or a different pace of life? In this episode, Darryl talks with Indiana broker and realtor Colleen Hungerford about what Californians should know when considering a move out of California to Indiana.

They cover some of the biggest lifestyle questions homeowners ask before making a move, including commute times, schools, affordability, taxes, weather, travel access, and what everyday life can really feel like in another state. If you are a homeowner in Brea, Fullerton, Placentia, Yorba Linda, La Habra, Anaheim Hills, or anywhere in North Orange County, this conversation can help you think through the bigger picture before you sell.

A move like this is not just about real estate. It is about timing, family goals, and making sure your current home sale supports your next chapter.
