I remember once looking and looking for a job offer, and having trouble getting one. It made me worry I was going to have trouble finding a new job -- so when an offer finally came after a long search, I took it. That job involved relocating -- just to a new city -- but that was stressful. (Starting a new job and moving involve a lot of mental work, and doing them both at the same time was just a bigger challenge than I thought.) I never really settled into the job -- my skills weren't a good fit, and the company was a little dysfunctional in ways I hadn't expected.
What I came here to say is that if you got one job offer -- maybe you can get another? You don't say how long you've been looking, but if you're in the tech field, you're probably "in demand" right now. So it might be worthwhile to see if you can find another offer, and then you'll have two to choose from.
It's a total cliche, but sometimes it really is useful to remind yourself of the old saying: "There's other fish in the sea."

The new offer is a lot more money (which isn't an issue as of now) so was considering, but I get your point, to relocate is sort of a stressful task and mentally exhausting.
