[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a 2.25% mortgage and are very thankful. Our low housing costs will make us wealthy.

However, had I to go back to 2018 I would have bought way more house than I did. The plan was to buy an inexpensive place to get to know the area then go for a significant upgrade.

Welp, guess we aren’t moving now. I’m bummed but realize how lucky we are. [/quote]

In a similar boat. My house isn’t inexpensive but is in a relatively expensive area (and now much more so.) we were in our late 20s/early 30s when we bought seven years ago, and I didn’t want to stretch further. Now I wish we had as there are several things about our house we have outgrown. But glad we’re already in the market and bought at a fair price with a low mortgage.[/quote]

Same here. When I look back, all those agonizing over spending [b]another 100k, which the realtor assured me I could afford[/b], now seem silly and I wish I'd spent the extra 100k. But current house is pleasant and in a good neighborhood so I can't complain too much.[/quote]

Let me correct that for you:

"Which the realtor calculated would generate an additional $3k commission for the buyers agent"

Everyone gets used to the basics in their life and then the desire for more usually sets in. It's called the hedonic treadmill. Do your best not to get on it.[/quote]
