Asia, I guess the buy and hold argument or at least the rent stability aspects are appealing. The point of the thread was that in my area it is already rent nuetral, actually it is cheaper to buy, yet I sit. Mostly I think that Bugs’ advice rings in my head, beckoning me to at least wait till the fall or winter, but even then I’m not so sure I will automatically do it. This is the only year in the last twenty that I have rented and I like it, a lot. I have more money than ever before, more invested than ever, yet my income isn’t significantly higher. There are a lot of expenses with owning that I never realized until I stopped. There is also a lot of savings going with a smaller place, the place I’m in is about half the size of the last one I owned and it doesn’t bother me one bit, point is, it will be hard to voluntarily end this party.
