| I don’t love my house but in terms of life happiness it’s not a huge deal. The neighborhood and your overall financial health are the big factors. Hating the kitchen is more of an annoyance. |

"Paying" Are you closed yet? How much EMD? |

| I know interest rates are high but that is a ton of money to tie up in a house. |

We bought a place prior to the pandemic and it took at least a year before it felt like home. We needed to do so many things to make this place liveable it was a lot of work. I really dislike my neighbors, our old place was so nice, had a better location and the neighbors were amazing.
The interest rate is at 2.5% so we're stuck and will make best of it. But, yes, wish we had stayed in the old house. |

| Not regret but unhappy that we bought a property at the top of the market for way over asking but prices went down and if we had to sell now, we'll see a $109k loss. Fortunately, we don't have to sell and rental market is great there. |

| I hated my last house. Lasted 9 years there. In retrospect, I wish I had put more love into it. I just never liked it so I didn't. When we painted and staged it to sell, I realized I could have tried harder. DH really wanted it, I was pregnant, it was the right school. But I hated the busy street, the layout and the backyard so much. |

No closed yet. Mid October date. $50K EMD. I want to puke. |

| To me hating a house you bought is like marrying the wrong person, almost as monumental. |

I don't love my house as a whole but I like certain parts of it - the garage, the master bath and the living room - but hate other parts.
But, I have gotten used to it and know that we could not have afforded anything better. |

Are you within your contingency period still? Just walk! |

No contingencies. I would lose the deposit. Possibly the whole thing. |

Not to sound crass or privileged, but what is $50K when you're talking $1M in all cash on the most major purchase of your life. That stress would literally kill me. If this was 2021-2022 heck I'd say do the deal and then sell if you truly hated it, but the market has changed A LOT since then and there's a good chance you would be stuck in the house a long time, or move and lose a lot more than $50K. |

Meh, this is a normal feeling. What made you want the house in the first place? Do you need to move or did you want to move? Think about what made you look for a new home and choose this one and focus on that.
That or lose $50k! |
