When I was in OK the 6% seemed like a lot, but it was workable.

Now in CA, after selling my first home, this 6% is simply absurd. After selling and buying a new house, even with considerable equity, if I were to sell my house again I would actually be losing money.

We had several major life events at once recently (job loss, family death, and a couple others), and almost had to sell the house. Doing so would have been like starting over after building up equity for 30 years.
