I ran into a college buddy this past weekend I hadn't seen since 2004. Turns out he lives eight minutes from me. I went over to his house and fell in love with it. I looked it up on Zillow and it said $679k. I looked mine up and it said $679k. Hmmmm. I was thinking there is no point in selling for crazy money and then overpaying for the next place. But if our houses are really about the same, I could make a lateral move to that neighborhood and still have about the same size mortgage. Obviously, closing and moving costs would be additional. But I can live with that.
