I have recently watched a video where the guy says that it is safer to buy a house with BTC (and other cryptocurrencies) than buying through one real estate agent.
You must make the trade with Escrow because I am sure a trade to buy a house is a big one. Without Escrow, you will take very high risk and potentially might lose your
BTC but in return no house in your ownership.
Use Escrow.
Because value of the trade is big, make sure you wait for some confirmations like 6 or 10 confirmations before consider that on-chain transaction is 'completed' and safe enough to complete the house trade.
How many bitcoin confirmations is enough?1 confirmation: sufficient for small payments less than $1,000.
3 confirmations: for payments $1,000 - $10,000. Most exchanges require 3 confirmations for deposits.
6 confirmations: good for large payments between $10,000 - $1,000,000. Six is standard for most transactions to be considered secure.
10 confirmations: suggested for large payments greater than $1,000,000.
