š” Hereās a housing statistic that may surprise youā¦
In March 2026, renting a starter home had a lower monthly cost than buying one in the 50 largest U.S. metros studied.
But cheaper today doesnāt automatically mean better for tomorrow.
Renting and owning accomplish two very different things. Your monthly payment mattersābut so do equity, long-term plans, interest rates, available cash, maintenance costs and how long you plan to stay.
My job isnāt to tell everyone they need to buy a house. Itās to help you understand your options and decide when buying makes sense for YOU.
Thinking about buying but wondering whether now is the right time? Letās talk. š©·
