I have selling FOMO

Looking at prices of condos in my neighborhood has me itching to sell. It's honestly insane what places similar to mine are going for right now. There's a part of me that wants to list my place and capitalize on this market.

But I don't.

Because in this market, selling high means buying high. Someone buys my overpriced condo and then I have to buy someone's overpriced house.

I also currently have a 2.6% mortgage rate. Buying with a rate double that makes me cry. My current mortgage is lower than rents for 1br's in my n'hood. Increasing my mortgage payment by so much, even for a SFH, in this economy makes me nervous.

So here I sit.

Anyone else in a similar situation?

Looking for a mirror I can hang in a door recessed panel

I'm looking for a mirror that I can hang/install on this door recessed panel (36" x 18") with command strips. Has anyone done something like this? Or just hung a mirror with strips and it stayed up?

This is the door to my bathroom. These doors are new. My previous doors were basic hollow slab doors so I used a cheap over the door mirror. But now I want something nicer and the hanging part of the over the door mirror doesn't allow me to fully close the bathroom door fully.

(I like having a mirror on this door b/c it allows me to see the back of my head when I'm looking at my vanity mirror - to the right in the photo when the door is open).

Since it's a thin recessed panel, I'd like to use command strips to hang the mirror. I don't want to put screws into the panel and I'm not sure the panel strong enough to support it. So I'm looking for a light item and that that has enough of a frame (or no frame) where I can stick the strips to the back of the mirror/frame.

I've looked on Wayfair, Ikea, mirror stores, bathroom stores, etc.. Some seem too heavy for strips. Or don't have enough of a frame.

Any stores to suggest? I'm in the US. TIA.
