Do I buy a new house? Too soon?

[Jeremyt]

You raise some valid points, being that close would have some drawbacks. I love the neighborhood and hate to disturb my kids all the more. After talking to a loan officer I will need to have my W assume the existing mortgage before I can get anyone to loan me a thing.

I'm gonna let this sit on the back burner for a week and see if a little prayer and meditation will give me some clarity. Maybe the house sells in that time, then that is that.

I'll have to go on the gift hunt today and see what we can find.

Thanks for your responses.
