<prompt> Human: Apparently we live in a very hot market in Raleigh, NC. The city is growing quickly and my specific mid-century neighborhood is especially popular, with a history of homes staying on the market for a week or less before going under contract.We bought our home almost 4 years ago, and since its value estimated by Zillow and manually comped has increased by 36. The 30-day change alone is a 7.2 rise, moving toward the annual crescendo around MarchApril. Currently I am not planning to sell the home or move, but we are in certain financial situations that would be alleviated by such a decision:---Family: 2 adults, two children. Single income household.Net worth including homes estimated value: 25,000Consumer debt: 15,000Student debt: 20,000_Explanation: We restarted tracking all our expenditures and faithfully budgeting only about 6 months ago, which is why we still have a significant amount of credit card debt. Were paying it off slowly but surely._---If we sold our house at peak market time likely too late this year, but if the appreciation continues into next year, we would immediately be out of debt with 25k cash on hand. This would in turn enable us to move to an area with a lower cost of living my job offers telecommuting, send my spouse to grad school which would eventually lead us to become a two income household, live closer to family free babysitting, which would be a boon to our mental health, and end up with a much lower mortgage payment a similar property in the area Im thinking about would have a value less than half of what it is here and much of that covered by a down payment from our home sale gains.I never bought this property with the intention of using it as an investment, but my question for all of you is __am I a complete fool if I dont take an opportunity like this?__ If it seems likely that the local market will continue to rapidly appreciate, should I just sit on it for a few years and reassess?Obviously theres no right or wrong answer maybe?. Im just interested in hearing your reactions and thoughts.  <response>: If you offered me what Zillow says my house is worth, I would be out in 24 hours.
