 pF>  How far south are you thinking of going?

We're thinking Orange County or San Diego County (but pretty far north). We'd like to be ~5 miles or so from the beach - far enough not to be buried by the marine layer, close enough not to have any real weather fluctuations.

 pF>  I moved to the Califormia coast in 2015, and I'm glad I did so. Cooler
 pF>  weather, fog you can usually set your watch by, and more consistent
 pF>  temps, as you're looking for.

Yeah, I lived in Pacifica for a bit and this was my experience. Right now I live south of San Jose in the Almaden Valley and it's brutally hot right now. Then again everything east of the Santa Cruz mountains is brutally hot right now.

 pF>  During 2020-2021, we saw a ton of people move "over the hill" from San
 pF>  Jose to Santa Cruz/Capitola/Aptos, when people realized you could work
 pF>  from home and buy a hell of a lot more out here - and hopefully they're
 pF>  enjoying the beach lifestyle.

We planned to move during that time but I was warned that we'd all return to in-office work once the pandemic slowed. Stupid job.

 pF>  Unfortunately for them, real estate prices, which lagged behind the bay
 pF>  area, seem to be catching up.

This is true in many areas farther away from major population centers. Yet prices in the cities don't seem to be on the decline...which is weird.
