I don't know we were looking at possibly relocating for jobs but interest rates on housing eats away at a lot of any potential pay increases.Housing market is starting to soften up, as well.
We sold our house at the end of September - listed it for ~$20K more than it was worth (IMO) and sold it in a week for asking.
Been living with my parents while we house-hunt in a new area. We've had a search up since ~August and have seen prices steadily (but slowly) decreasing. More price drops, more houses sitting for 30+ days (and not junkers/fixer-uppers only).
Interest rates suck but it's easy enough to refinance (plus living mostly rent-free with my parents for a few months doesn't exactly hurt the savings account. The pride, a little, but not the bank)
We are at 2.25 on the rate, looks like 5.25 is low for now, which would be a $460 increase of interest alone. Who knows how long these rates are stating for.
