The house was still in NY, and closer to Canada, if anything, so not sure how much of an improvement it is (even assuming he didn’t very rationally sell it in the red-hot seller’s market after it had largely served its use as the classic plague bolthole c.2020).
That would have been great but we rented the house because we didn’t expect to stay. We did buy our NYC place upon return, which was an even better trade—I’m up >1 year’s salary on the interest rate alone.
