<prompt> Human: Moving from the East coast to LA. I only have one room full of possessions that I dont care about. Should I sell what I have instead of using the money to transfer it across the country?Assistant: Yes.Rent for a while probably a year before buying.That will give you time to know the location and the local real estate market and make a better buy.Good luck.Human: The market in LA is crazy and I just dont want to wait a year if housing continues to increase  <response>: Yeah, but you dont want to buy a house in the wrong spot and be stuck there. Maybe get a 6 month rent if you can. In your free time explore the area. Check out traffic. Figure out what the best place to own a home would be.
