    If you anticipate a job change in 2 years that would either require relocation, or change your income such that you can’t comfortably afford to stay in your home – I think you should sell. No one can say with certainty where real estate prices will be in 2 years, but it is hard to imagine that they will be tremendously higher than they are today. If you have a buyer “today”, why risk selling later? It seems like there is way more potential downside than upside. Besides, renting will give you much more flexibility if your job change happens sooner than you expect.

    Thanks PadreBrian and JustLurking.

    We do have a buyer today– I need to respond in the next few hours. Solid funding and everything.

    Downside potential + increased flexibility is what I was thinking too. It’s just hard because we DO love our house…

    But life is full of hard choices and so forth…

    Thanks again!

    Fletch. Two years from now after you’ve sold, you’ll look back on this as one of the smartest things you ever did!!
    Get out of debt and into cash or highly liquid assets. A storm is brewing!
