Maybe there will never be a good time to buy a house for you. Might not have anything to do with rent to buy ratios or any of the other “sound” economic reasons to commit. I think it is easy to give way too much of one’s life for the “American Dream” and you have posted about that before.

I think you have also talked about what a drag owning a house can be if you get relocation orders from your job or when facing other changes. The tradeoffs just might not be worth it. It’s very hard to resist being part of “what’s going on” and housing apparently is still it.
