Probably too many variables to say for sure when it comes to home ownership. You could come out ahead, or you could have an unexpected $30k expense fall in your lap next year.

You certainly could have bought much smaller and saved yourself a big chunk of tax burden and other expenses if saving money was a priority, but having land and extra living space can definitely be worth it if you can afford it. Hopefully it leaves you in a good position to downsize in the future if you want to.
