I often hear from homeowners, this will be my last house and I'm going to die here. Five years later they are calling to sell because the wind changed directions that morning.
Personally, I think you always need to look at resale. While these aren't investments, we all want to take the smallest loss possible in the event we do sell our babies.
For example: A black 1969 Camaro with subtle mods and a big block chevy. Never going out of style.
