Should I buy a house now or wait?

Asked by nmguy (528points) May 11th, 2013

I have enough money to buy a house now, but if I wait a year or two, I’ll have an additional $100k that I could apply toward the purchase.

If I buy now, my monthly mortgage will be about $200 a month more, and I can eventually use the future funds for emergencies, auto purchase, etc. If I wait, the additional funds will be put into the house, leaving me with no cushion money.

Any suggestions?
