This Billy Joel classic addresses personal autonomy, the right to make mistakes, and the impact outside opinions can have (or not have) on these concepts.
When you are looking to move, everyone will have an opinion. Friends, neighbors, siblings and, especially, in-laws.
Ultimately, Billy is right. It's your life, and you get to choose where you live. That said, taking input from people who care about you, or even just like to hear themsleves talk, can be useful. If they challenge your assumptions or conclusions, use it as an opportunity to revisit them. You never know when someone, even your mother-in-law, may say something useful!
They have thoughts, they have input. What they don't get....is a vote!
It's a big decision. Advice is good. Bullying, not so much.
