Basically should I buy a home right now or wait? Home prices are up nationwide but are we in a Covid induced bubble that will slightly deflate?
I live in San Diego and home prices have been on an astronomical increase here. Still some election uncertainty and obviously Covid cases are going up here and throughout California.
My wife and I both work, combined yearly income of $200k and we have $200k saved up for a down payment. Interest rates are super low right now but they should remain low for the next year or two. Some debt, nothing major. Mostly car and student loan. Two kids, one is in preschool (she just turned 3) and my son is 5 months old, preschool is $1,300 a month.
Kids are young and our rent is low $1,850 for a 2/2 near Balboa Park (Hillcrest) and our lease is month to month so we aren’t in a hurry to move.
Any advice on what we should do is greatly appreciated.
I'm a little surprised to see rave reviews of the Apple M1 chip computers - Air, Pro, Mac Mini. I'm so used to problems when they try new hardware on phones that it didn't occur to me that they'd nail the laptops (and desktop).

If you're a Californian on the run from the FBI for running a Ponzi scheme, you should:
a) turn yourself in and use your ill-gained money to hire great lawyers
b) drive to a wooded part of the Northwest to sneak across the Canadian border, or
