No, it's not. I have a 60-year-old, granite-faced house on two acres
within 5 miles of my job. The kitchen is a little small, so I would
certainly consider remodeling. In fact, when the mortgage is paid
off, that's just what we plan to do. (Of course, the housing market
will probably be wildly different by then.)

My house is unique, and I doubt I could buy one that suited me any
better, and I wouldn't want to take on a brand-new mortgage
(especially
at current interest rates).
