You said you can afford the house. As long as you’re prepared to stay in it for long term and ride out any down turn, you should be OK. You would also be better off if, like FSD said, compare your PITI vs rent of similar area. There’s a cost of housing, be it renting or buying. No one really knows how this whole thing will play out. But you’re already in escrow, so the ball is definitely rolling for you. I say, trust in your instinct and trust in yourself and your own decision. Take everything you read on here with a grain of salt. We all have your bias. Only you know what’s right for you.
