Do an 'exploratory move'. Find a short-term sublet on craigslist, 'move' there, post your resume as though you're there. Stay a month or two, get job nibbles etc. If the response is good enough or whatever, extend. Otherwise, move on. This isn't fanciful advice; I do it. So far I've been lucky (about finding short-term sublets). Note that it takes a couple / few days at a motel to find the sublet.
