I don't see the point of buying a new house just becasue it is bigger.
To me a bigger house isn't worth the money.
What is worth the money is the lifestyle you want.

I've lived in the burbs for the last 10 years, and have been mortgage free for several years.
I just bought a new place, and got back into the mortgage game because I wanted to move to the inner city, mostly I've acquired a taste for lattes, and have grown tired of Yop.

I could have just bought a bigger house where I was, but I decided to buy a smaller place where I really wanted to be.

So if you're just looking at getting a bigger house (1800 sqft, isn't small) for the sake of having more space, I'd say, why bother?
If you're looking at moving somewhere that will make you're quality of life better, then go for it.
