Stay in the townhome until rates go back under 5%. Most likely 1-2 years out as inflation is still not going down as anticipated. Keep plugging away at your 401k and HSA as you seem to be in 20-30s. Your money has longer to compound and will be the backbone of your retirement.
When you’re ready to buy, look at FHA loans as well as private. 5% down with PMI might be better than FHA PMI as PMI rules have changed with FHA loans and might be more expensive over the life of the loan.
