We moved from a white hot market and went 30 minutes west to a dead market. No mortgage. I retired, got bored, went back to work and going out again. Sometimes I think retirement is the worst job I ever had.
That’s common where we lived previously. White hot market at a university. Bidding wars were common. The guy with the highest bid will be the hardest to work with. His price is the maximum he will pay and he’ll start grinding you down.
We sold the house, the guy next door sold his for double our price and now the Zestimate is $130k more than our price.

This happened to me. We called our realtor to say we were ready and she had a full-price offer immediately. We still had to list the house if only for a few minutes.
Not if you are going to exchange one sin for another. It’s like Luke 18:11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: ‘I thank you, God, that I am not like other people—cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that tax collector! I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’
Self-righteousness is a sin. That’s why Paul says “You are as bad as the people you condemn”.
Don’t confuse sin with the sinner. The sinner can be redeemed but if if they off themselves.
