You only gain if you sell and downsize to an area with less of a cost. A not so good area but example is selling a house in AZ then buying in one of the small towns in western WA. My friend gained $240,000 from his sail and now is building around a 5000ft home. Just crazy.

How is that a pot of gold? Bronze, maybe.

maybe not playing to your hilton family levels, but it ain't nothing to sneeze at. they look like a pretty laid back couple... and for someone to say they OWN their place (in downtown seattle no less and seemingly fits their lifestyle needs) and can pocket six figs... waaaay ahead of the game locally.... nationally... and WAAAAAAAAAY ahead globally.
