Right now the housing market has been through the roof!
2012 was actually the bottom of the housing market and since then it has been the third fastest growth in housing markets ever!
Homes valued over $500K are actually stagnant and sitting for a long time. Don't just assume every home is moving quickly right now because the data is proving that to be true of homes under the $500,000 threshold.
You may sell for 10% more and buy for 10% more. When that happens if you are moving up in the quality of your home, you may lose a little bit. But that is fairly normal as you move up and the home market fluctuates.
If you have the option of waiting, I would strongly suggest you give it time. Most experts agree there is no way this growth can be sustained. You really can win if you can wait a year or two.
