I'd love to sell and move as my value has jumped up a ton since we bought 2.5 years ago. But then you have to dump it all into the new house to offset the amount you're buying the next house for. Granted, It's "free" money that inflated the value on my current home but I still can't justify it until I find a house that's a real value. Look at the assessor page for houses that are for sale and the houses are selling 25-40% higher than they've ever sold for. That is concerning to me. Add in the fact that the stock market is at 17k and something eventually has to give.

My hope is that when the next dip happens, I can still turn a decent profit on my house since it's in a majorly growing area. Then not pay some inflated price on the next home. Or find someone I know that wants to sell and is willing to offer me a fair price on it. $300k for a home that doesn't even have a 3 car garage? No way.
