[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I have rented in this luxury high rise for the past year. We pay a huge premium to live here. It’s been really nice but the unit itself is not super big - 1200-1300sqft. There are so many incredible amenities - close to work, stores, restaurants, huge gym +  pool in building, and multiple work spaces within in the building. They even have a children’s area. We found out last month that we are expecting and my husband now wants to move to a condo or townhome with much more room. He’s been scouting out condos and the like and have found some nice 3bd places with more square footage. I’m super happy here but my husband is insistent we move because we will outgrow the space very quickly. 
He’s ready to put an offer in on a certain property. It will be cheaper to pay a mortgage.

I’ve always been super indecisive and not great with change. What are your thoughts on this? Am I naive to think we can make it work in this small space? Is moving more wise? Should I stick to my guns and not move?

Imho if it gives you more space for less or even same money and payment is building equity then he is making a wise decision. Change is tough but inevitable so get on with the process. Its easier to move before baby than it is with a baby. Good luck with new place and new baby. [/quote]

My reasons for not moving are

- We will not stay in a condo or townhome for more than 3 years. Maybe 4 max. We will eventually want a house.

- The one he likes the most is about what we pay here now. I know that equity is important but it feels like we lose money if we don’t stay for 5+ years in a new place.

[b]- Longer commute to work.[/b] Not ideal. [/quote]

This should not be underestimated. Is it also a longer drive for childcare or will you have a nanny?[/quote]
