QuirkyKapers Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Your current house you have lived in for over 10 years would be paid off in 2 years but the house you saw had more acreage but the house wasn't as big? Or would you wait until the mortgage was paid off, save some money, than move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin M Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'd wait, pay off my house and then go for more land and bigger house. I wouldn't want to have to put a lot of work making another house bigger. Unless it's a complete fixer upper and you can see the possibilities in the house and the land.

chepyl Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 It would depend on: 1. Can I sell the house I currently live in? 2. With sale of house, can I nearly pay for the new house? 3. Is new house big enough to house family? 4. What is the difference in acreage? If I was two years from paying off a house that was a good size and on an acreage, I would need to say "yes" to all three of the above and have a significant difference in acreage. Do you farm? Garden? Keep large farm stock? Why do you need the extra land? If it is going from the city to the country, yes I would. One piece of land to another....probably not, unless I loved the house and location a lot more than my current space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenpatty Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'd definitely wait! (We've got a little more than 4 years to go - woohoo!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
