(((Hugs))) Got cha. I too downsized to what I needed, and found out I need bigger! I've been here 9 years though... still trying to downsize my life to fit. No, unless the market has continued to grow, you won't have much equity. Only if you can find some place for you and your animals that is much less in rent costs, would I advise moving.

Could your frustrations or emotional state be contributing to this thinking? Are you sure you would be happier in a rented place with closer neighbors and all that?

I can fully accept what you say, and I'm not insisting what I say is correct for you... I'm sorry the situation long ago caused you to be where you are now...and I'm trying to help you not feel the same way in another 11 years, ok?

((((hugs))))
