absolutely. We did ok out of it personally though, although not as well as I'd have liked. We purchased a home a bit over 2 years ago and sold it earlier this year and made a profit of just under 100k, but if we'd put it on the market about 2 months sooner (as I wanted to do) our profit would have been twice that.

All in all though, it was good, and allowed us to get a bigger house to accomodate our two growing almost teenage boys and the new one on the way.

We were lucky, and I think reasonably wise. We could have done better, but we didn't do badly, and we learned some valuable lessons. (well, Dazza did. lol Mainly that when I tell him it's time to sell, it really is time to sell.)
