I'm teetering on the edge of being able to afford a small condo (a small SFH would be nice but not as much supply) in the Bay Area (SF).
However, I keep thinking about how someone I know was laid off last year only two months after buying their first home.
I'm a SWE making OK money here but not FAANG/unicorn-level, so it's tough to imagine buying and then being on the hook for a mortgage without a job even with some savings.
