Pizza, well done. You moved to another level of home for free. You could have bought back your old house for half it’s price as well but you had a goal, timed the market and got a ranch in trade for your tract home.
It is a butterknife catch at worst.
If a carmel valley resident had done the same using the same numbers they would throw a parade. If a cv player sold their condo for 470 and bought a 1 mil pad for what they sold for, they would have effectively done the same, the location and specifics are irrelevent, it’s purely a mathematical success. How would you have felt if you had never sold, if you were sitting in your 470k house, now worth 270k. You are a reverse flipper success story and I raise my glass to you, good luck old friend.
