What's a reasonable time horizon?
What should happen when you find a mate and need more space than you did when you moved into your current unit?
A friend moved out of his space after 7 years to start a family, and the appreciation didn't cover the closing costs.
they way to “handle” this is to stop viewing housing as “investment” - especially short-term investment. once you do that, you are good. when you buy you will consider all the implications of that decision and then you can live with it when you need different housing
