Mastermine asked:
should I sell my home because the market is going down and buy a new home with the profits while it a buyers market? Equity is going down on my house fast. $60000 in the last 6months. One the other hand new homes are going down as well. makes it balance out I suppose. what should I do? If I wait for the market to go back up on my house, the new homes will do the same and more i’ll be spending on a new home.

I only have 324 Z-tokens and I want the tiki hut. But it’s 1,000 Z-tokens.If anyone has suggestions of how to get Z-tokens faster tell me!But I could buy the forest tent and I heard houses increase value.Does that mean if you waited a while you would get more value on your house and if you sell it after a while you would get more Z-tokens then you bought it for???????????????????????????

Solange asked:
Hi all, I want to ask Suze Orman this question, but she’s not around so i’m asking you.
I was wondering if we should buy this house. It’s in a good part of the country (Cheshire, CT) known for good schools and not going downhill anytime fast. The house can easily be appraised at $525K even in this bad market. We can buy it for $440K.
Here’s our financial breakdown: We have $80K in cash (although I would only put 10% down) and have excellent credit.
We gross $130K/year. My husband puts 20% into his 401k and I put the max into a Roth IRA per year. After everything we bring home $6400/month.
The house will cost $3200/month (PITI included) and our bills can easily be $1500/month. This leaves $1700/mo for gas, food, extras, vacations, EVERYTHING. We will never be able to save again. We will be the working poor. Did I mention we will never save again? BIG problem for me personally.
So let me ask you, what would YOU do? We don’t like budgets particularly. We’re not extravagent but we do want what we want when we want it, you know? We like to invest, save, and live a little. The problem, this house will be all the “living” we’re going to do for a while.
I should mention that we currently live in this house now (renting – will be sold to us after owner finalizes divorce). It’s a great house, and we do like it a lot. It’s full of our stuff and the thought of moving again is overwhelming.
So, again, what would you do? I’m looking for good financial advice.
We’re in our mid-30’s. Shouldn’t we be saving more?
This is a big, beautiful house. It’s been completely redone and is on 2 acres. $350K doesn’t buy anything in Cheshire, maybe a small, beat-up piece of crap. Really, even the ugliest houses are $400K. This is definitely the BEST thing around for the money, DEFINITELY.
Also, we already live here. We rent the house that i’m speaking of. We’re all moved in and everything. It will be ours to buy when the owner gets a divorce.

Bubbles asked:
The house is listed and basically state no showing until Oct 6th but this one person is insistent on seeing it tomorrow. We have boxes everywhere since we are still in the middle of staging….. house is just a mess. I was just going to clean up the kitchen and bathroom and just straighten up what I could. My husband is worried the house is a mess but I can’t believe that we would sell our house that fast- from 1 person looking at it. Why is this person in such a rush to see it? They were told it is in the middle of being worked on. Should I not worry or should I panic?
(I have a lot going on so I don’t have time to clean, I have to alter my own bridesmaids dress and my husband suit tonight and pack for the wedding. Wasn’t planning on cleaning.)
50.00 to clean? Where do you live? They want like a thousand around here for a big clean like this!
And it’s nothing gross- just boxes and books, no mold, underwear or hair- EW!
