[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The friend realtor we were working with suggested a very low ball price on our house, making the gap too large for the house we wanted to buy. We should have talked to more realtors. We would have gotten a wider range and could have made the deal work.

Because that house we wanted didn't work out, [b]we ended up buying a vacation home, which changed the trajectory of our lives.[/b] Everything happens for a reason. [/quote]

Well now I'm curious! how did buying a vacation home change the trajectory of your life? I'm asking this sincerely, not in a snarky way.[/quote]

I think we always assumed we'd live in the same area, with the same group of friends and our kids would all be in the same school through HS. Our hometown area was part of our identity. 
When we bought a vacation home, we made new friends in different parts of the country. It just opened our eyes to living somewhere else with a lower COL (like, hey, "these people are really cool and they live in XX. Maybe we could live in XX too?"  We made the leap five years later. [/quote]

I love that PP! Moving to a new area can be really adventurous and fun if you keep an open mind. [/quote]
