https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/Braswell-GA-30132/51188628_zpid/My current house is worth about $250,000. We owe $88,000. I'm looking at this house listed at $165,000 and I'm really tempted!
Our house we live in is looking pretty nice these days. We just put a new deck on the back, new floors last year, but I still dream of downsizing. My oldest will be a senior in high school, and I would never dream of her changing schools. This is still in our school district, but less than 2 miles to a community college (she doesn't drive). She also has autism, so letting her live in a trailer out back wouldn't be so crazy and would give her some independence. We currently live in a neighborhood with an HOA, so not so much room to park trailers and such.
I also need to consider that my mother will need care in the next several years, ands she already struggles with the stairs at my house. I know we're going to need a ranch style eventually. It also has 3 acres so I could have a rooster if I wanted to.
Talk me down off the ledge! What do you think? Go for it, or wait another year to downsize like we'd planned.
