The house is already half off. Amazingly, in the end, there are worst things in life than, OMG!, I have a mortgage and own a home!
The problem with housing unlike stocks or other assets if YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE in.
Based on your profession (and your spouse), nothing wrong with paying like 1400/month (w/ interest deduction) to pay for a place to live in.
My old 2 bedroom apartment in the worst parts of SD almost cost that already…
Good luck on closing and once you get the keys, you’ll be so happy with all the extra time you have instead of trying to find a decent place you actually want to live in. 🙂
