买房15年、花900天卖出时勉强打平(from NYT)

It has been an unexpected ordeal. The Palestinis bought their spacious ranch house in the Des Moines suburb of Clive for $185,000 in 1995, after looking for only three days.

Their house is under contract for $225,000. After paying the agent’s commission and subtracting the cost of remodeling the kitchen, the Palestinis are at best breaking even. “You just have to ignore how much it’s going to hurt,” Mr. Palestini said.
