Your logic escapes me. If the value of your current home increases by 6% then it is also plausible that the value of the home you wish to upgrade to has also increased by 6%. Therefore the difference between the two homes is now greater than it would have been at the time you initially purchased your 1st home. I guess I'm lucky, the home I purchased 12 years ago it's the one I'm still in and happy to be here.
