I bought a bigger house in the middle of this market. But, I bought it for cash with an inheritance that was mainly funded by the sale of a house worth about the same. So I guess that is a lateral move of sorts. Anyway, I didn't buy it as an investment. I wanted it for the modest acreage it came with, room for my growing family, and the chance to live in semirural Tennessee instead of a blue city in the Southwest borderlands. No debt on it, so I don't care if it loses value for a few years. We're not going anywhere.
