I'm the same. Can't help but compare.
But this time I have to. I'm in Manchester and the market has just gone up and up in the last 10 years since we bought. Ours has increased in value by 70%. (Some is home improvement) If I take that profit "home" to Teesside, I can get a 3-4 bed semi, anywhere between 120k - 180k depending on area. And drastically reduce my mortgage.
Just means a 2 hour train to Mcr, but I'm freelance these days, so maybe it's the right time.

I always, out of morbid curiosity, compare what my budget could get me back "home" (Norwich) and it always makes me a little sad. You can find perfectly nice 2 up 2 downs for sub 200k.
Friends who feel priced out of East are talking about moving to a place called Crystal Palace which makes me sad as I have never even heard of it and it prob doesnt have Bullet trains.
