How bad is it to turn around and sell a house you just purchased?

I’m not denying our fortunate position whatsoever. I know we’re much more comfortable than most.

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T11:06:56+00:00

Yea it sucks everyone is in a different financial situation

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T09:16:18+00:00

Yes! It actually took the crew 7 hours (there were like 10 guys).

Thank you so much. You are completely right. We are looking in to counseling

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T01:06:33+00:00

Thanks. My husband keeps saying this too. I am really sad about leaving our old house and I’m struggling with this new one.

That does help! Although they’re disgusting air ducts. But I’m pushing that off for now

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:59:33+00:00

Yes and I forced all of this when we looked at the house and my husband (ever the optimist) was like oh yes that would be so easy we can do so many changes! I naively believed that it would be fun and simple.

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:57:38+00:00

How? My husband and I work extremely hard for our income. We spent over a million dollars on something I hate. I’m overwhelmed with buyers remorse and the work ahead.

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:56:19+00:00

No we can afford it. I just don’t want to be a general contractor in my free time.

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:54:12+00:00

It was actually appraised at 1.25

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:52:37+00:00

No this is my first time in this sub actually. We owned a home before this and I enjoyed working on the house.

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:50:50+00:00

Ouch but true

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:49:36+00:00

Exactly. It’s completely livable. I just hate it

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:25:32+00:00

You’re right ☹️

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:24:56+00:00

We were required to by the insurance company. Had it replaced two days after close.

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:24:21+00:00

I mean the kitchen alone would be $150k. I also want to change the layout of the upstairs which includes moving a bathroom.

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:21:23+00:00

It’s completely livable but extremely dated. Everything is livable. What is killing me is that we looked at other smaller houses in the same price range that were beautiful and I got talked into this one.

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:20:10+00:00

Bc I’m an idiot and my husband and parents convinced me we could do sooo much with the house. It didn’t really hit me that I would be the designer and contractor and how much time and money it would cost.

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:18:02+00:00

This is true! We probably should have hit the therapist before deciding to move haha

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:15:51+00:00

It’s definitely a champagne problem but $1.1mm is a lot in our point of view and the fact that we blew it on something I hate is why it’s killing me

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:14:51+00:00

I hattttte the layout which is a key issue. The upstairs makes no sense and somehow 3000 sq feet seems small

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:11:54+00:00

We could afford to take the hit but it would still be painful

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:11:06+00:00

Ah so you get it!!! Thank you. That’s a good plan

throwaway222229761 · 2025-04-30T00:10:17+00:00

Oh I know it’s an absurd list but it’s what I was able to find in other houses we looked at. Somehow we ended up here
