That’s just it. My friend from Seattle did move for a job.
The other poster said that because of rising home prices, someone who owned a home couldn’t afford an equivalent home. My argument is that their current home probably also went up in value and they could use the equity to pay a large down payment to make a new home affordable.
Alternatively, pocket the equity and rent instead of making a commitment to buy.
This post and thread are talking about moving due to losing a job. Not about a calculated move done for financial gain.
