    which will surely continue to rise every year unlike my fixed mortgage

    Pretty much the #1 reason to buy a home. I got into a $350k house in 2014, knocked my mortgage down to 3% during the COVID shock, and have been happily paying under $1/sqft for the last twelve years. No idea what I’m going to do when my son outgrows his tiny bedroom. But that’s a problem for 10 years from now. Maybe we’ll see another housing crash before then.
