You don't get a second opinion from your neighbor before you sell your house, and the People don't need to get a second opinion on secession from the Union. At the risk of poking too obvious a hole in your really dumb analogy, if you didn't need your neighbors opinion to buy the house in the first place then it stands to reason that you don't need it to sell. States, on the other hand, did need the consent of the other states to join the Union.

States, on the other hand, did need the consent of the other states to join the Union. Not true. Connecticut didn't need Massachusetts's assent, to join the Union.
You keep going back to that Hitlerian "the Union created the States" stuff.
