or i keep the house and rent it out while we're gone...did this before, didn't work out so well, don't want the hassle again or having to put extra stress on family members to take care of it
I believe you're in the Coquitlam area? If your house is in decent shape, it will sell pretty fast. When we were looking, most 'move in ready' houses were selling above asking within days of listing. And this was back in the fall, when the market is generally slower, but there was also less stock and selection. We found houses generally were selling at 10-17% above 2013 assessed values, which made it tough for us to determine fair market value because the market was a bit emotional and irrational when we bought.
