...you know as a side note, my husband never told anyone at his work that he bought a house - he was afraid they would all resent and hate him because he had like 2 bosses that wanted to buy - they had kids and couldn't afford it - that is just how sick and twisted it can be down here in the housing market - can anyone else relate to this?

Yeah, I can totally relate. My house is newer AND bigger than my boss' house. But it goes back to having the equity on my side. He purchased his first home about 6 months ago while renting for YEARS prior to that and as such, didn't have a large down payment. As I mentioned before, the equity from my sale was what helped me...
