<prompt> Human: Here is my story: -Bought a house 380k, 80k down, 3.5 rate in 2012 -Spouse passed away suddenly 6 months later, no kids -Mortgage 1,200 property tax 1000 1000 all my other expenses per month -I make 4000month after taxes401k renting out one of the rooms for 600month Pros: -I really like the house. In the woods a bit, lots of space, backyard for my dog, extra garage for home gym. Cons: -As a single guy, it is way more space than I need, doing house and yard work alone. -It is in pretty good shape, but eventually will need paint, windows, roof, etc. normal long term maintenance -Has oil heat which is pretty expensive in the winters -I dont have much rainy day savings, been paying down my car loan -The company I work for has been doing small layoffs, and there is some speculation about it getting bought. I have a good degree and experience, but having a house makes it harder to move if I need to move for a new job. -Having someone else living in my house -Housing market in the area seems flat -Residual emotions tied to the house  <response>: Sorry for your loss. I think it could go either way, your reasons are all valid.
