Easier to do if you're single. I'm not, and haven't been every time I've made such a move. My priorities and responsibilities may be different from yours. Also, if you live in an apartment or own a house, there's always time needed to get out of a lease or sell. It also depends on whether you have a landing pad (friends) at your new location. We didn't.
My move to DC was prompted solely by a 4th of July weekend visit. We decided we wanted to live there and so took the local newspaper wantads back to Flint with us. We sent out resumes, came back once for interviews, and by the middle of August we were in a new apartment in MD and both starting new jobs. Six weeks to accomplish such a move didn't seem very long.
