[quote=UCGal]To the OP –
Can you add more square footage to your existing home? That seems to be the appropriate compromise. It’s a lousy time to sell and there’s potential risk to buying at this point. Can you make the home you already have a home you can stay in long term?[/quote]
Lousy time to sell? Low inventory, 5% interest rates and tax credits…
Sure the economy isn’t great but when the economy picks up, rates will go up. The ability of future buyers to have any sort of additional purchasing power is highly suspect. Waiting to sell to “get your price” is thinking that all sort of incredible things will happen.
