Interesting stories from Evo and Sonic.
Wife and I didn't even think about selling or moving but discussions led to looking around and in 2 months from the initial discusssion, we bought a detached house and sold our TH.
The house we bought was just over $200K over assessed value.
The price of the house more than tripled in the last 6 years as the owners was looking to downsize/cash out to retire.
As for our TH, we sold for just over $150K above assessed value and another unit with the same floor plan sold a month after us for $10K more.
We could have sold our unit for $10K more but the closing date and subject to financing turned us off from that offer.
House isn't perfect being a 17 year old house.
But to Honda's comment, we can't find anyone that is willing to give us the time of day to discuss the reno's we want/need.
The guy we used to reno's my in-laws bathroom 5 years ago is so busy that he isn't willing to take on any new minor projects.
We inquired with many others and either never got any replies or the same as the first contractor. Too busy and would only look at it if it was a big project, and still months down the road.
I may have to bite the bullet and do the reno's myself.
