π‘ Buying vs. Renting in 2025: Homeownership Still Wins! π
Trying to decide between buying or renting this year? Hereβs what the latest Rental Affordability Report says: In most of the U.S., itβs cheaper to own a home than to rent a three-bedroom property!
β Homeownership takes a smaller portion of income β In nearly 60% of U.S. counties, the monthly cost of owning is less than renting.
β Home values continue to rise β While prices are going up, so are wages! That means more home equity for buyers.
β Rent is rising faster than home prices β In cities like Houston, Columbus, and San Antonio, rent increases are outpacing home price growth, making ownership the smarter move.
π‘ Best for Buying: The Midwest & South offer the most affordability, with lower home prices compared to rent.
π’ Best for Renting: The West Coast is one of the few areas where renting remains the more affordable option.
π° Build Wealth β Every mortgage payment builds equity, while rent builds your landlordβs wealth.
π More Stability β Fixed mortgage payments mean no unexpected rent hikes.
π Tax Benefits β Homeowners may qualify for valuable tax deductions.
π Long-Term Savings β Buying a home is an investment in your future.
π In most of the country, homeownership is STILL the better deal! If youβve been thinking about buying, now is the time to explore your options.
