If you feel that this house right now if worth spending your BTC for, then you should do so. Otherwise, don't, or buy another. Nobody can make that decision for you.

If you want to buy something without spending your BTC, you'll need to spend other money.

The essential character of money is that you transfer it (or control over it) to another person in exchange for some object or service.

There is no way to use money to purchase something and still retain the money.

None of the alternatives are acceptable to you for various reasons

* Rent
* Mortgage
* Invest money in a business and defer purchase until investment returns exceed purchase prices

Bitcoin is money.

Therefore your problem is insoluble. You cannot have your cake and eat it.
