We do want to spend time overseas to expose ourselves and our kids to other cultures. We've heard good things about Spain so we're spending time there this summer. However, when I go on Idealista and look for homes, the homes I would consider living in if we ever moved there are either about the same or more expensive than the one we have here. Sure, there are other positives about moving, but from a cost of living standpoint, it seems to be about the same. We'll find out this summer.

Spain is not a good idea in the summer. Super hot, extremely touristy, prices will be 2-3x.

What kind of a house would you consider living in? I saw many excellent houses in Spain that cost maybe 500k euros at most and are within 30 minutes from the coast and a big city. Unless you live in a very cheap area of the US, I can't imagine getting a nice house there for this price.

Even if real estate prices are the same (I doubt it), groceries are much cheaper and of much higher quality than in the US (it's very easy to get local, organic produce).

What is your opinion? What countries do you like?

I like developed, wealthy, peaceful and safe countries with high social trust. But specifically for my needs, I also need good weather (warm and sunny year round).

So without the criteria of good weather, I could live in many countries. With this criteria, my only real choices would be Australia, Spain and maaaybe Greece or Portugal (Madeira only), with Australia being far, far ahead of Spain.

Unfortunately, immigrating to Australia is almost impossible these days unless you're a Thai masseuse who doesn't speak any English but has some family members there or unless you want to be a high-skilled wagie (all entrepreneur and investor visa have been recently scrapped).

If I didn't pay so much attention to the climate, then I could also imagine myself living in (I'm speaking only about countries I've visited, and I rarely visit colder countries): Switzerland, Austria, and maybe New Zealand and Slovakia.
