You could use Zillow.com to figure out the approximate cost.

Be careful doing that. I think they over-valued my home by about 10-20%.

You can get a first approximation, but their error bars are large.

It looks like they under-valued this house by just a bit- from what I can glean from other houses selling price (not list price, but average selling price) and such.

Congratulations and good luck!

Woohoo!!! Good luck!

Can't wait to visit the new house!

(thanks for the lj-cut) ;)

I can't wait for you to visit either!

According to the econ blog Marginal Revolution, people when making tiny decisions should think carefully about the pros and cons in order to be most satisfied afterward -- but people making huge decisions are most satisfied afterward when they collect the information and then go with your gut.

You like that house. Go with it.

Thanks!

Sounds like sound logic and the right decision to me.

Good luck!!!

I am so going to try this as a meta-strategy in chess... that's a neat insight!
