Everyone else is trying to console you in your compromise.

I suggest you NOT buy the house. You have NO compelling reason to move., So don’t.

Take off six months. Don’t look at a house in person or on the internet.

In six months revisit the concept. It’s not like there’s gonna be a shortage of available homes then. Nor will prices be higher.

There is a perfect house for you. Wait for it. If you resign yourself to compromise, you’ll never get what you want.

I say you buy the house.
live a little & take on good kind of risk. And say you do: I hope you find all your contemplation was done mostly in fun analyzing your life’s situation. I bet this is why so many of us enjoy reading this site.
You’ve waited your whole life to be in a position of financial strength & stability.
$1500/month is so doable for even one person if they are motivated. You & your wife have done it right without getting in over your head.
I say you get on with it & share your experience (waiting hawk style).
-my five cents

Hey Scaredy….you have done the math backwards and forwards ad nauseum. So, lets say prices do go up eventually, you can always leave the house to your kids. Doesn’t that give it more value?

Also, you never mentioned the commute. I am assuming that is not a problem?

You ain’t getting any younger, dude.

Take a chance…and I don’t even think it’s that big of a risk…go for it.

No matter whether prices go up a bit or down a bit in the next couple years, in TWENTY years you’re going to look back and wish you hadn’t worried because it will seem obvious you did the right thing. It’s a no-brainer.

As Tom Petty said in “Crawling Back to You” on Wildflowers…

…Sure as night will follow day…Most things I worry about…Never happen anyway…

Stop worrying. Just do it.
