What the calculation does not count
The calculation above leaves out three expenses that depend on your situation: the broker's fee and selling costs, the notary for the purchase, and the move. The gain on the sale of a principal residence is generally tax-exempt. Before selling, check the contingency fund and the condition of the building you are targeting: a cheap condo with a special assessment coming can wipe out the gap.
