Congrats!! Same here but for a single family home. If it’s within your budget, checks all of your boxes for this stage of your life, and you intend to live there for the next 5-10 years, don’t sweat the timing. We also worried about buying at the wrong time, but we also got the house for $75k under listing and at an ok interest rate.
