Too cheap to buy a new house?

[Too young to work]

After all this discussion and thinking we settled on moving we sat and talked for hours about what to do. We ultimately decided our agent may have pushed us into feeling like we needed to move more than we did. We came to realize that we actually like our house more than the new one. Despite the neighborhood that we would move into being better, the extra cost, sacrifices of what we would lose here, and the uncertainty, we just couldn't tell ourselves moving was the right decision.

It's funny how you can get so wrapped up in the idea of change, that you forget what you're leaving behind.

....and the current house might not have sold as quickly as the agent implied....
This alone could have turned all the financial calculations and other arguments upside down quickly.

Now is a really good time to change your mind. I'm glad we had this little talk!
