It's such an angst trying to find a practical way to replace a home with another. I'm not talking about upgrading, simply about moving from one to another equivalent. So here's the setup.  The home is a condo (originally an E-condo) with a 99-year lease. It is now 12 years old.  Things are starting to break down here and there, although perhaps nothing major.  It worked well when the kids were studying at schools nearby.  But now that they have moved on to tertiary education, the location is no longer ideal. All that's desired is to find another equivalent place to move to, which places the kids nearer in terms of travel time to their tertiary locale, and my time of travel to work is no worse off. A 17th floor condo at 1292 sq ft bought 12 years ago was $501,000, and is roughly worth $950,000 now. That sounds like so wow....
