Sorry to hear that, but it will probably save you money in the long run.
BTW: how is RE holding up in S.F. area? My relative and the soon to be a significant other is about to pull the trigger on a $2mil 2500 sqft place in S.F. downtown (Pac Heights or Presidio). And I've been out of the loop up on the R.E. situation up there, and wanted to get feel for how things are up there.
I know, i know… Now's not the time to buy…Yada, yada yada. BUT has SF R.E. fallen in the better locations yet, particularly Pacific Heights and areas around the Presidio? They claim they it's an ok price at the given the location(s).
Sorry to hear about your particular situation. Unfortunately, it still seems like there are too many dollars chancing homes. I was hoping you would have found a place. Frankly, while wife would like to live in something larger in the future, I really don't want to be competiing with the likes of some folks like you who will sideline things for now. 🙂
