powayseller, my wife and I are in the exact same situation up here in Temecula. We sold our “dream house” and are now renting a house. The one we’re renting is smaller but we ended up actually liking the layout better – it’s more practical and our A/C usage is a lot lower. We listed our house at the lower end of the price range and it sold fairly quickly. Others that listed higher have now reduced down to the price we sold at and are still sitting on the market. The two best days of my life are the day I bought my house and the day I sold my house.
