How many of you all have stayed in the first house you purchased and payed it off? We have 16 years left until ours is payed for which would leave us at being in our 50’s with no mortgage. We would love to sell now and get into something with more room and a little larger lot but would have to start over with a 30 year loan. We have two kids and our home is 1650 sq feet and is on .16 acre lot. The other issue is that we live within a couple of miles of a land fill and have noticed the smells are getting worse over time. Houses are selling quickly where we live and would give us an opportunity to move into a bigger home. We would really love to move to the beach when we retire and don’t want to mess that up by making a bad decision now. What would y’all do in this situation?
