Congratulations on making the offer on the house.
It IS hard to make big decisions like that. It's scary.
I don't know if this will help or not to tell you this, but the funny thing is that once the big decision about buying is done, be ready for zillions of other decisions to make. They drove me nuts! I got totally obsessive about paint colors, tiles, you name it!!
It can get exhausting to have to deal with one decision after another, etc. But it was worth it now that I'm on the other side. And I'm still working and no sherriff at my door yet, LOL!!!
Risk is always going to create some anxiety. I think the trick is not to expect it to feel anxiety free. I think the anxiety comes with the territory. So that can't be the main criteria for deciding if it is a good risk. Well, you can and should use your gut to a certain extent but be realistic and accept that all risk comes with at least some anxiety.
If it is a worthwhile risk, go for it.
Good Luck!
