US real estate

I just sold my Minneapolis house last week (divorce motivated sale). Sold for $30,000 less than I paid 8 years ago and will walk away from the closing with a cool $1,000 in my pocket - after putting down $80,000 when I bought. It’s the first time I’ve EVER lost money on a house sale. I’m taking my $1K and sitting out the market for a while by renting a nice townhouse. Plenty of rental inventory because the smart people aren’t selling if they don’t have to.
