Thanks for the input everyone.
I'm leaning towards staying put, for the following reasons:
1. If I do have a SO, and we want to move into a bigger place together, I'd rather both jointly decide on said place, that way it is a mutual decision with equal weighting.
2. I agree that the bedroom/office will mostly sit vacant.
3. I don't have parties that often or visitors that often anyway.
4. If I were to use about $80-100k as a downpayment, that would put a big dent in my invested in the market portfolio. I'm hoping with my current nest egg, plus contributions and earnings, that in 10 years, I will have investable assets of $1,000,000 in today's dollars at the age of 38. Purchasing a condo would delay this. This is a goal of mine because I think it would give me the freedom to leave the corporate world and pursue more freelance type work.
