You're looking at only about $7-8m here. If you have a problem saving that much, you have no business buying a house.


I have enough in savings to put down the down payment. However, I hate to see my cash balance go to zero.

Then wait a year and sock some more money away. I hate seeing someone throw money away(to the IRS especially) unnecessarily.

The bank is not going to approve you anyway if your down payment brings you down to zero. You definitely should save up another year and do not touch your 401K.
