Should I be happy if they paid more?

I'm not angry if someone paid less for their car. Maybe they took advantage of a 0% interest rate that wasn't available when I bought.

I have better thing to do than obsess over what someone else paid for what they have...
Several posters have stated all you need is VLS and MLS. No need for a spreadsheet. All the information is on both sites. Easy Peasy!

You buy a newly constructed house and happily move in. Weeks later, the Developer slashes the price of 250 available homes in your Village. The same model you just bought is now $30,000 less. You are a saint if that doesn't bother you.

What happens if you need to sell? Neighbors who own the same model in your neighborhood have a listing price lower than you. You look overpriced and will have a difficult time trying to sell the home. Anyone can easily understand that concept.
