100% mutual funds and ETFs

I do once a year contributions to my Roth from our AIP which I invest in mutual funds 70/30 split on domestic stock/ bonds. My 401k contributions are managed by Vanguard across a few different index funds but is relatively aggressive for my age. Finally, my bi-monthly contributions to our brokerage account I dump into broad market ETF.

But the recruiter has been ghosting me ever since, 3.5 weeks now. I wrote a not after 2, but no reply. Ghosting - is that common? I don’t think it is a reject yet, I am told G always calls back if it is a reject. Delays and ghosting usually happens if you are cleared for next, but they are working on the logistics, potential team etc

Or how to calculate the better option?

Curious for everyone’s thoughts on real-estate right now.. my spouse and I are in Denver and trying to buy our first home. To get a halfway decent 3BR home, we have to spend upwards of 500k and still put a little work/investment in to update the home.. I can’t help but feel we should be waiting for 6 more months and seeing if the price drops.. I want to take advantage of the low rates right now, but can’t believe a half million still requires further investment to update the home.
