There's always an emotional attachment different to that of renting it to someone else.  

In my area, $100-$150 per NON "service animal" (not to be confused with emotional support animal, or typical household pet) pet is pretty normal. 

But adding emotional rhetoric doesn't change the facts above.There is no good reason to keep crime in place, to keep dilapidation un-remedied, or to maintain filthy hovels when better alternatives are available. 

Probably more emotionally attached to the house and neighborhood.

Everyone needs to stop letting emotions guide them and blindly look at DATA!

The notion to sell one's home and buy another home in a peak market, but irrational, emotionally-based decisions are justified with the logic that they are getting their "dream home" or its out of necessity for a new lifestyle home (single level for seniors).

It typically comes down to an emotional decision, but you have to take the whole picture first.

These transactions move very quickly and can become very emotionally draining if not prepared properly.  

What I was thinking was more along the lines of either:A) Rent prices, since those are less subject to the whims of desperate, emotional homebuyers (this is why a computer will never really be able to predict home prices, or at least not with modern tech)B) Change in rental rates, or median home value, based on economic shocks that could happen, like a large employer moving in or out of an areaNot sure if these would be any more feasible, but they seem less driven by emotion

@Grayson GrzybowskiThey can, but the emotional equity people have and being blinded by this stops them from doing what in most cases is the smart thing which is to sellIf it’s a temporary loss of income bankruptcy is a smart choice but we see many people who cannot afford a home they bought and continue to hold out hope only to continue to lose the equity they had as it gets eaten up by penalties, late fees and legal fees
