As long as you can afford it now, then go for it.
Back in 1991, I was one of the “clueless” ones, had no idea what was going on in the real estate market, not even sure I knew there was one.
I bought my house when things were starting to tank around me. I paid $185K watched the houses around me drop to $135k, thought I would be sick.
Now here I am, in a house the got up to 600K, now on the way down, but what do I care? I live in a nice house with a $700/mo payment. All I cared about at the time was “what is the monthly payment?”
So maybe sometimes too much info is not necessarily a good thing.
