[quote=Anonymous]OP, when did you buy? I bought a condo in an area that I *thought* I would like and I ended up hating it. I also was a first time homebuyer, and it was a flip and I was easily impressed. Bought in April 2019, decided to put on the market in January 2020, and closed on March 31st 2020. Everyone told me I was silly to buy and sell so quickly, but I new this place wasn’t for
me and didn’t want to waste my time anymore.

Fortunately for me, I was able to stay with my mom
for a bit and put my stuff in storage. I honestly wasn’t looking to jump back in the market immediately, but I found an adorable house (small, outdated, but good bones) in great neighborhood. Closed on my SFH in July 2020.

So, perhaps if you’re willing to sacrifice on aesthetics, you could possibly move to better area? I will be spending the night cooking with white appliances and 80s oak trim cabinets that I can’t afford to update, but my house and neighborhood is cute and cozy and I love it. I am going through a major overhaul of the heating system (from oil to gas; oil tank was removed today and omg how stressful and what a relief) that I am prioritizing over my kitchen.

Anyways, moral of the story, if you have some form of an exit plan, don’t waste your time in FT. [/quote]
