My next piece of advice is that given the probable long-term state of the US housing market think of a home as more of a consumption good than investment.
This is exactly the case. I’m buying it because I want to live in it. It’s not “exactly what I’ve always wanted in a house”, but it’s rather close all things considered, and a very good fit for my lifestyle.
