    The only way you are going to not get the same market conditions on the buy end as the sell end is if you move a really significant "realty distance." This isn't necessarily physical distance (though it usually is) but it means you have to move from a hot market to a cold market, and those don't typically sit next door to each other for obvious reasons.

    Our plan is to slingshot from DC in about 9 years to whichever of the ring burbs around Phoenix is coldest at the time. The hope is that you eejits keep the wars going to keep our local economy booming (And it really has been. You know how the rest of the country has stalled real middle class wealth? Ha! Not us!) just long enough to get the f-ck outta Dodge. It can crash the week after for all I care. Just not the week before.

    Remember too that the sell and buy price evaluated alone don't matter at all. Your loan lives in the space between.
    9 years from now they'll be building new homes next door to Palo Verde. At least you aren't looking to have more kids.

      9 years from now the Phoenix suburbs will have reached Las Vegas and Tucson.

      And then there's this.

              I've never even been to Phoenix, but I just assume between the weather and the sprawl, it's already unlivable. Unless you're a yuuuuuuge fan of dry heat.

                    It's weirdly liveable, as long as the power (and the AC) stays on and you drink your weight in water for every daylight hour you plan to spend outside.

                    If there was a weekend power outage it would feel like the surface of the sun.

                              I cannot understand Phoenix for the life of me. I'm looking at that conclave of old hippies, Oregon.

                              Yes, it rains a lot in every season but summer. But as someone said, you don't have to shovel rain. And it's really not all that much more than here in New England.
                              What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

                                Oregon is lovely. But go east of the Western Cascades. The emotional difference between New England and Portland winter is extreme. Imagine a cold wet spot on the back of your neck you can't prevent or dry.

                                Now imagine it for 7 months.

                                If you love Oregon (as I do), move to Bend or Ashland or Klamath Falls if you value intelligence. Or move to Burns or La Grande or Pendleton if you like herpa-derps.

                                But the coastal rain is soul destroying. There is no way to describe just how depressing it is.

                                In the summer months, the Coastal Range is one of the most lovely places on Earth.
