Are your strategies markedly different? Perhaps not, since the dream home is but a dream, and retirement is so far out for you right now.

Your worst case scenario would be a five-year run of negative years right before you wanted to buy. But as you point out, you don't have to buy the house then, that's the just the goal. If you are willing to wait out a potentially bad market, then putting more in bonds doesn't make nearly as much sense. Trent,

A fair point. Your worst case scenario would be a five-year run of negative years right before you wanted to buy. But as you point out, you don’t have to buy the house then, that’s the just the goal. If you are willing to wait out a potentially bad market, then putting more in bonds doesn’t make nearly as much sense.
