That's exactly what I'm thinking too, Bob. :-)

We may end up renting for a few months to try and catch the market slide.

Here in CT, the RE market is cooling first where I live (at the farthest point from NYC), but I'm sure even the white-hot markets will soon be effected.

We've been very lucky, though, to see the value of our home more than double over ten years. It's time to fold the tent (and buy a smaller one.)

Where do you live? Have things been cooling there much as well?

<<If the new housing market has slowed in your area as much as it has here,>>

Last year banks here quit lending on spec homes but the building hasn't slowed. All large homes too. Each new subdivision has a water retention basin that doubles as a lake, in some areas you have to be careful driving as to not hit a goose.

As an indicator of building activity, we bought a new door the first part of May, late July is the earliest we can get it installed.
