[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trying to figure out of this is a wise decision or not.  We currently live in Fairfax, and I just got a job back in D.C. after a few years (have been working in Northern Virginia).  Hours are going to be somewhat unpredictable (general 9-6 schedule but some later evenings).  My husband and I are starting to realize that we'd rather be living closer-in and possibly rent (could never afford a great house in N. Arlington), but we've only owned our current home for about 2 years -- we'd lose some money to pay commission on the sale of our home.  But we can't get the idea out of our heads to move back to Arlington/Alexandria area.  We lived up there for almost 10 years and really loved everything about it.  We miss being able to walk to restaurants, activities, being closer to D.C., having a shorter commute into the city, and the general atmosphere of the areas.  Fairfax isn't what we had bargained for...

Do I need to get this thought out of my head?  Is it crazy to go from owning to renting?  Losing money on the sale of a home for no good reason?[/quote]

Yes, losing money for no good reason sounds crazy.  Do you have children?  If not, then you can just spend more time in the city.  But don't lose money for some impetuous "feeling."[/quote]
