I think those assumptions are the error. I'm not of the opinion (bold because all of our market forecasts are opinions at this point) that it will take 10-15 years for your house to appreciate enough for the equity to cover sale/closing costs. I really don't think the market is nearly as bleak as you paint it. A 1% yearly gain over 5 years should easily cover that stuff.
With respect to repairs, just don't piece a piece of shit. :wink: Most things that sellers spend money on are returned 1-2 fold in the sale price... even in a flat market. If something is truly broken well then you'd be spending that money anyway even if you were staying.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
