[QUOTE="wizer, post: 271578, member: 1245"] What I was going to post earlier was that, since I know your financial situation, both you and I don't look at $100,000+ as a big deal, it's only a fraction of our net worth, whereas other people might view that as their entire nest egg. So in your case Biggie, it really isn't about the money you'd make if you sell now, especially since you'd probably just spend the difference on the house you'd buy in this inflated bubble market. Unless you downsize considerably in which case it would be a smaller amount percentage-wize. Plus you just spent a lot of time and effort customizing your new house to your liking, do you really want to start over again? I've done so much moving and construction on homes I've lived in, I'm getting burnt out. I just figured out I've moved 24 times in my life. My next move is hopefully my last and it might just be in Florida although on the other coast. That much being said if you had other reasons to sell, such as you decided you didn't like the area, or the house was too much work, or you found another place to live that you like better, or maybe met someone and wanted to move closer to her, etc.. then it might be worth taking advantage of the market, maybe even renting if you believe as do many others that the housing market cannot sustain this pace and will take a big tumble in the next year or so.
