From a fellow renter, who did almost exactly as you did:

I didn't realize how stressed I was about the burden of owning a home in Marin County until I signed the papers. I wish my timing in the rest of my life was half as good as it was in selling my house and leaving California. I love renting! If we stay here in LA, I'm looking forward to buying a nice house on a big lot in my old neighborhood for a considerable discount from right now. The number of "For Sale by Owner" houses is a great indication of how unrealistic people are, still.

JT knows my story. I did the same in 2005. Peaked almost the top in denver (missed by 4 or 5 months).

Feels good to rent. We spend way more time with friends than we ever did owning. Plus on the weekend, home improvement projects - no way, we got out and play. Its very nice to not be focused on this.

Congrats to you JT. I was asked to help out with a wendys in tacoma. So I might be in the area soon. I will let you know if it happens.

Why not just stay in the house you bought till the market comes back? Seems like it would of saved you lots of worry.
Please don't be fooled into thinking the market won't come back.
