I looked at some of the newer homes and thought about selling/buying but I bought in 2004 and if I sold and bought bigger and newer (in this market), I would get stuck with triple the property tax bill and a substantial capital gains tax for doing a deal. I would be so pissed off at paying the huge tax bill, I wouldn't enjoy the house. Even though since my Cox bill is about 1/3 of what it was..If I save the difference for 5 or 6,000 years, I could use that and make the purchase without too much guilt.
