Because you didn't ask, I'm gonna weigh in here... Buying a house is isolating. Traveling is social. Every traveler I have known, that has bought a house, has eventually started to travel again, seen the house as a burden, and sold it. If you need to buy something to self-validate, buy a condo. No lawn upkeep. No plumbing issues. No worries that the homeless/meth heads are going to move in while you are gone. And, you can lock the door and go away for 5 months, any day of the week. Buy a house if you really want THAT house, and want to live in it every day. Otherwise, screw it. The economy is heading for a nosedive soon, so you won't be missing out on much, financially speaking.
