When should I seriously start looking/applying to jobs? If I see a really awesome job but I'm still not sure if I'm moving, do I bother applying? Do you address that you will be moving in your cover letter? I figured you could since they will see that you are not from the area on your resume...but maybe I'm wrong.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

I'm somewhat in the same situation as you and I'd say start looking now because of how our economy is. It could take months to find something and just because you apply for a job doesnt mean you have to take it. I don't know what field of work you are wanting to go into but I'd focus your search there. When a job opens up in that field located in that new city apply! I wouldn't mention relocating in your cover letter either, common sense should tell HR that you are able/willing to relocate.
