I rue the day we have to sell our current home. It's in a smallish town where home values have decreased a fair amount since we bought in 2009. Because the volume of sales is low, even at the best of times, it will take a very long time before the market can rebound given how stingy appraisers have become. It will be very difficult to support even a modest increase in price with sold comps.
All the while, we have to put money into the house to keep it liveable for us. It's a losing proposition. At least our mortgage is relatively small.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

Yeah, I am pretty proud, knowing how he saved and has no debt, got approved for a special MA first time buyer's loan, considering how much freakin' money houses here cost, compared to other parts of the country.
Sometimes I want to strangle parents who think the only way their kids can be successful is to spend 200K on their college and let them live at home afterwards, so they don't have these experiences.2015 Trek Silque SSL

Dear men,
Did it ever occur to you that when you "shake," those droplets don't magically disappear? Would you please, just once, wipe your OWN dried urine off the walls, floors and sides of the commode? Why can't you just use toilet paper like normal human beings?Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

Dear Ivan the Cat,
I know you hate it when men visit, but must you always poop in the middle of the floor just to make that point?
Sincerely,
Your poop-cleaning slave
BTW, been reading this thread for the past few days. Love it!

Dear esteemed colleagues offering real estate advice at lunch today,
You have no idea how completely disheartened I am about my "situation". Telling me that I should go for a drive, check out other neighborhoods isn't very helpful. What I would like to hear is an invitation to join you to check our your lovely neighborhood - as I'm not familiar with this city, as you well know.
Living in real estate limbo sux.
Beth
