suny66, if I considered buying a house, I'd get a mortgage while rates are low and keep as much in ENZC as possible. You'll continue to make a much higher gain by keeping it invested...even if you can afford to buy it outright.
I used to buy cars & houses outright, but got smart when I realized I was just letting gains go down the drain by holding my $ in them.
Just something to consider. I just do the math.
Regardless, we will get there and fairly quickly as far as I can see. GLTU!
