I have been in the real estate industry for over 12 years. It started out as a small adventure in a single short term rental and quickly expanded into multiple investment properties, both short term and long term.

In the process, I've gained extensive experience in buying, selling, and managing various properties.

I can confidently say, if you can afford a home and it makes sense for your situation right now, then yes! Absolutely buy now.

See my blog post about buying in this market for more data on this topic and further detail on why I'm all for buying a personal home right now.
