I live in Toronto. During the last RE bubble our townhouse in fashionable Thornhill went up a lot. A few years after the crash we sold and moved to a nice 'less trendy' old neighbourhood of Westhill in Scarborough (now Toronto). The townhouse lost about a third of it's bubble peak value while the larger house on the larger lot we bought was closer to 45% off its peak. That's why we moved. More bang for the buck... in the same city. Of course location counts. So does timing if I wanted to store half my goods and rent an apartment... yech!

It's just different strokes for different folks. Next time I move I'll do like Kim, be out in the boonies and live like a king... OK maybe just a country squire... :o)
