Word of advice, rent first and spend a year exploring the area within your needs and go from there. Buying in an unfamiliar area can lead to major buyers remorse very quickly.

There is no way to know what home prices (and interest rates) will be in 2 years.

Just start researching the areas, maybe drive by some places for sale in different areas or even go to open houses. Get a feel for the different areas and the price ranges. Will also give you an idea of the types of homes you might like, and judge how much work will typically need done once buying a home.

You basically need to be south of bucks county to be close enough to Wilmington. Maybe Glenside or Jenkintown?

You could also find some good options in NJ. Collingswood and Haddonfield are pretty good places.

Southern Lehigh County might suit you. Emmaus, Macungie, maybe Allentown. Also upper Bucks County, Sellersville, Quakertown, Coopersburg. Upper Montgomery County, Red Hill, Pennsburg, East Greenville. All of these areas fit your travel requirements and you should be able to find something affordable, maybe. Good luck!

All of those about an hour and a half out of Wilmington, DE.
