Ok......plan "B"

^^ Yep!

IMO, it's a tough time to buy right now - especially if you don't have a house to sell. Prices are absolutely insane. At least when interest rates are high, you can always refinance. When you pay a high price for a house, you're stuck with it.

So true. And the houses around here are all going above asking price because of bidding wars. I have been getting cold calls wanting to buy my house in WA for way above what we thought it was worth. I bought a house at a bad time, right before the last crash, and it took years of renting it out at a loss to finally break even. If I would have waited two more years I could have really made out. Kind of have that same vibe today.
