I think I'd stay put. Maybe rent some mini-storage where you can store things that you do not use.

The future does not look good. The more savings you have the better.

I don't get it. Rents "took a big dive", and that makes it hard to get a rental "for a decent price"? Would you be happier if they went back up?

Your arguments against options A and B focus entirely on tight supply, while your argument for C is entirely about price. I think this is framing the question in a way where you aren't being honest with yourself. If you want a condo, then fine, but don't buy one just because it's easier than finding a new apartment.

It looks like you're looking for home in specific area. Abundant ammenties, hot, energetic, cool and hip sort of area, I guess. Otherwise, what you're saying is against each other as alpine pointed out.

I don't know if you like this suggestion or not though, what can you find if you look arround outside the specific area you're looking at now?

Going in the right direction alrighty! Nice! Down 50% from peak 680K... I guess you gotta wheel and deal!
and dont fall for the tricks as many have in buying in the city. Dont fall in love, bargin hard and ignore all
the hype about the city.
