Back in 2017 when we bought into the market, we didn't max ourselves out and have been able to save up a pretty healthy amount for our next place. Only problem is as you guys state - market for more space continues to go up and up and up. Feels like no matter how much we save, we fall further behind even though we own our own place.

My realtor thinks the price increases are going to slow down this summer as the market reaches some type of stability and more product comes up for sale. Hard to say though.

As for the commuting topic - from everyone I talk to who works an office job, they are itching to get out of their homes and back into the workplace on a flex schedule at the very least. 2 to 3 days in the office and 2 to 3 days at home. If that happens, that makes longer commutes more manageable since you wouldn't have to do it every day.
