You should easily be able to cool your home to the temperature and humidity level you desire, within common sense limits. Despite what the temperature is outside, anyone should be able to keep their home in the low 70's 24/7.
Studies have shown that most folks say the "perfect" inside temperature is 75 degrees at 50% humidity. Some like it colder than that, some higher. The point is that it should be easily achievable with a properly running A/C system.
Is your filter clean? What is your Delta T reading? We look for a Delta T of between 14-22 degrees typically, with some variation allowed under certain circumstances. Is your unit icing up? Are the fans working, etc,etc...?
If you bought your home in 2017, this should still be under warranty. This is one of the many things that are thoroughly checked and documented during a warranty inspection. You must get this addressed during the first year to have the cost of repair covered. If you have not dealt with this through the Warranty department, you must do this without delay.
