My post shows I 100% would have more money renting than buying even if the market goes up 3% a year for 7 years. I would still lose $36,000 in that 7 year span. If the new home did not go up in value I would have lost $110,000 in that same 7 years. Depens on how much aof a risk taker you are. If it was me (being married with no kids and 0 debts) I would sell 100%, but thats just me. Have the equity and run is well worth it. I just sold my (unwanted) California City property dirt lot without electricity on it for $35,000. Everyone involed said “take it and run”, thank god I did. Lot now in same tract is selling for $25,000 list price.
