I never live in the same house for more than five years. Even if you don't make a huge profit, you live free for five years. Rick probably wants a 1 mill. house in five years.
I've lived in mine for sixteen years now, and the price we paid for it (which of course seemed high at the time) is comical now, because we are in Northern Virginia. Million-dollar houses are commonplace here; the market has calmed down a little, but it always picks up in the spring, so we'll see if the jumps in prices can be sustained.
