We bought in TV without selling in MI. It was an okay situation except that I worried having an empty house over the winter, even though it is a condo. Of course, that didn't bother my husband at all. Men's heads hit the pillow and they're gone into slumber land. I on the other hand...
And there's no home watch people in our little lake town up there. We had friends go in, but everyone up there takes off for the winter if they can, so having someone watch over it was iffy, and it was still empty and abandoned over the worst month, Feb. It was a constant worry in the back of my mind.
We finally decided to put it on the market. Having two places isn't a financial problem for us, but we feel we can use the $ we otherwise put into maintenance fees, insurance, utilities, and property tax to better use traveling while we're still young enough to enjoy that.
