No regrets here. I pay attention to my needs and wants, which are more than fulfilled here. I have the home I want in the area I love, so what do I care how many homes they build, how much they sell for, or all the other " wo is me" stuff. As long as you're happy, enjoy what life you have left and don't sweat the things that REALLY don't concern you. As far as home values.... Your kids will probably dump the house when you die anyway.....
