Housing Market Pondering

There is technically nothing wrong with our house. We have all space we need and then some and the neighbourhood is not that bad but we have begun the exploration into selling and repurchasing in this crazy market. See the thing is we could sell our house for over double of what we paid for it. And this would allow us to be student loan free! So do we sell?

The problem is that we have to purchase in this crazy market. We have found a house that is really tempting us. This house is the same size as our current home.
Pros of this house:
Close to gramma and auntie,
awesome dining room and den,
windows are amazing,
the yard is to die for,
a dog run (hint hint)
and there is an enclosed hot tub.

Cons to this house:
Price,
Across from the youth detention centre,
the roof needs work,
old people bathtub (the kind with a door that I make fun of when the ad comes on tv)
and the basement is not completely developed and this is the third bedroom.

Lets face it, the BM is going to be moving out in 4 years and which house could I prefer to grow old in. Well the current house has a flight of 15 stairs up to the washroom (not ideal for when my bladder starts to go). The potential house already has an old person tub and no stairs.

Pitch in your thougths, should we sell?

I think you should sell, and move to Lumsden.

This made me chuckle.

If my company opens up a remote call centre in Lumsden then maybe we could move there.
