OP,

your mortgage will be 800-1200 more than a year ago. if possible try to get a spot for less than 300k.

I know :(

There is literally nothing in this area below $300k unfortunately.

My husband and I (28) just passed over making an offer last month on a 3x1 1200 sq feet house ($364K- remodeled home and one of the lowest priced in our county) with no garage because with a $75K down (which would have required a 401K withdrawal) the payment at 20% down at 6.5% interest would have been $2,300 per month and like $400 in utilities and ou condo I bought pre-marraige runs us $1,200 total. We could not justify $1,500 more a month for 1 more bedroom and a small grass backyard.

​

$2K rent is alot but would possibly be a smaller monthly increase than buying in this market.
