Should I sell my house or rent?

OK, I have a home in Sarasota, Florida, and when I say "clean", I mean it's clean, no mortgage. Thus, recently divorced and now I think about moving north where I have friends and family, and I'm deciding to sell or rent this house. If I sell, I will take a big loss, because I bought at the peak of the market and overpaid LOT. As I paid 417k $ 2004 and right now the House is not worth $ 300K! So that makes me think that if the rent and wait until the market goes up a little before I sell. In addition, the Gulf of Mexico oil spill not finished, in fact, say that it is much worse than they thought it was, and since this house is only about a mile from the Gulf of Mexico today, I think if I wait to sell, the price will probably go down, not you! So what would you do?

Dear Duncan, a very difficult question, especially given the circumstances of the spill, but start research. No research online in the library, talking to estate agents and driving around the neighborhood and see how many "sale signs have increased and how many signs "rent there. Find out what homes have sold in your neighborhood, while they were on the market before to be sold, etc. to rent? A TRO ball. Find out what the rental market has been the case, rental prices are declining due to oversupply of rental housing? I lived in San Jose, CA where housing costs have skyrocketed, but it was difficult for owners to rent their homes. Something else about the car: If your house is big (And it seems to be), then who will rent it? The tenants of least in my area of PA, typically choose to rent small places, so I decided to buy a small condo to rent as a hostess. If a large small number of rental units around you, you are ready to hire option 3 or 4 singles looking for a place to live? Families usually move to buy houses (although this rule has changed, too.) If you decide to hire, always check the rating Credit prospective tenants - which is the most important thing you can do. Regardless of all, you need to talk to people in real estate in your own area to see what they have to say about the housing market and the rental situation, especially since the pill account of oil in recent years. However, keep in custody with real people - they are out of your money.
