You have to figure out how much house your budget can handle when you factor in other costs such as utility/maintenance bills, property taxes, and the like. However, I look at a home as just that -- a HOME -- more than I view it as an investment. Unless something drastic happens personally or financially, my husband and I plan to stay in our home for the rest of our lives.
