[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Buying and selling is expensive (very) and a pain in the neck. My biggest regret is not maxing the budget the first time to get into the house I wanted in the neighborhood I wanted. Which could have happened if I'd accepted a bit of risk and being house poor for a few years. [/b]Then I'd be sitting very pretty now instead of waiting for the great unknown - interest rates falling, so I can sell my dull house that I bought just to get something before the market went crazy. And even then I'd be stuck with a much higher mortgage if I do manage to get the house I always wanted.

That's my gripe. Otherwise house is fine. I never loved it, didn't buy it to love it, but it's comfortable enough and a good neighborhood, so I'm indifferent to it. Just waiting to sell it. But it is a different feeling than had I bought the other house because I wouldn't be waiting to sell it and I wouldn't be measuring every penny spent on the house against the resale potential.

This. Buy the best house you can now. The transaction costs are very high to sell and trade up.[/quote]
