Alright, so fake account (have friends on real account) and would like to give reedit full disclosure.  

4 years ago I bought a house when I was totally single.  Awesome place, about $215,000.  It is a great place, nice in Aurora IL (near chicago).  At this time I had no kids, or even girlfriend and made about $60,000.  Fast forward 2 years and I am married to a wonderful woman with a 2 year old.  He now just turned 4 and we spawned another that just turned one.  We have two cars paid off and no debt other than the house debt.  I make $105,000 now (wife doesn't work) and have great credit (never missed a bill ever... score about 750)  

We love our house, but the school district is really bad.  I mean really bad.  We also looked into private schools, but my wife and I were mormon and had a large falling out so we would like to not send our children to a catholic school.

Nearby the school districts are great, and if we didn't have this house we could afford in those districts easily (I think I could cover $400k now making $100k)  

Our house currently has $200k left on a 27 year loan at 5% (reified from 6 to 5 3 years ago) and as a point of reference a house down the street just went on the market for $175k.  We also completely upgraded the kitchen from 1970 (hardwood floors, custom cabinets, new appliances etc)

Heres our bank info (lol)
Savings: 15k
Checking: 2k
401k: 20k

I know we should have more saved, but my wife came aboard with some student loan debt.  

Help reddit, we really want to move and can afford to, but don't know what to do about our current house...
