If she's a civil service federal employee (I'm assuming she is) then it would be FOOLISH to quit. Do not give up the security and benefits!

There is a distinct possibility that a whole hell of a lot of white collar jobs will become permanent telework as things have gone pretty damn smoothly since the pandemic forced work from home. Like you said, it will take time for things to get approved by unions and senior leadership.

I'm not sure what you don't like about the area. You've got all the museums and culture in DC. You've got the Shenandoah National Park not too far away. Ocean City and the beaches aren't too far. NYC and Philly are possible day trips. Weather is decent.

I would continue to rent, despite how much you don't want to. I think the picture will be much clearer by next year in terms of how the telework situation will become permanent, giving you a better idea whether you should buy in the DC area.
