Anyone in an apartment (one bedroom) with their kid? We had only planned on doing this for a year or two, but am currently in an indecision hellhole (with an impending rent stabilized lease renewal) while weighing saving money (that much more for a down payment/subsequent home costs) vs. much needed sanity. Would love any tales/advice.

Currently in a one bedroom with two kids. We invested a ton into making it work. Inset Murphy bed in the living room...large built ins, etc. it was all great pre-covid. Now we’re crunching numbers to go ‘burb side in the upcoming year. Even if things “go back to normal” once our oldest turned three it became obvious we needed space to run him like a greyhound...he has so far broken a window, a table top, and broken a ton of stuff on our walls and shelves. If you’ve got a quiet kid who likes to read I’ve seen families like that last years in tighter quarters.

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
