“I missed the peak.”
Maybe—but that doesn’t automatically mean you missed your opportunity to downsize.
You don’t sell at yesterday’s peak and purchase at today’s lower price. Both sides of the move matter.
The real question isn’t only:
“What can I sell for?”
It’s:
“What am I buying, what will the complete move cost, and what will I have left afterward?”
Stop measuring the loss.
Start measuring the move.
Save this for the next time someone tells you they’re waiting for prices to “come back.”
