23109VC, not to pile on you, but I don’t think its reasonable to remove the principal payment from your calculations to make it even. If you were to do that, you might as well add a risk premium for ownership based on the likely hood of damage. Renting has zero (almost) risk.
Prices will be back, you won’t get a serious argument there.
Seems like after looking at the numbers you bought for emotional reasons, so just be honest. It wasn’t a majority economics decision despite your attempts to paint it that way.
On the other hand congrats on making the decision, I just hope you are happy with it and will stick around the community to let us know whats happening in your world.
