My house sold in Feb 2005, I’ve been renting since August 2004 in a much nicer area, better schools and WAY better house. My house was one year from being paid off on a 15 year fixed loan. We paid some of the principal down the first year we bought it, turning the 15 year loan into 11 or 12.

The house I am renting is in a community of similar homes (cookie-cutter), the prices have not changed much since I started renting. Strangely, though, two were recently removed from the market after about 3 months of sitting. I don’t know if they sold, going to different realtors, repos.
