Buying vs Renting: Recent Study Shows It is Cheaper to Buy a Home

Buying vs Renting: Recent Study Shows It Is Cheaper to Buy a Home

Buying vs Renting a home has always been a great debate. Both have their pros and cons and when making the decision you need to look at your personal situation, weigh the pros and cons, and make an educated decision. James Rosen of Fox News recently published an article called SHATTERED DREAMS: Buying beats renting in most cities, studies find. In the article Rosen discusses how in a recent study done by Trulia of residential units done in the most populous 100 metropolitan areas of the America's it was found that buying a home was less expensive than renting in 98 of the areas. Chief economist for Trulia, Jed Kolko says "we've seen (home) prices fall so much, and at the same time rents have been rising in many cities." Other studies and reports confirm these trends that Trulia has found. The Wall Street Journal saw that median rents rose 3% from January 2011 to January 2012, while home values decreased by 4.6%. Zillow also saw a 3% rise in rental prices nationwide. With this new information there is a good chance that more people will be seeing that they should buy a home when contemplating buying vs renting. We are already seeing this to be true as the latest National Housing Survey by Fannie Mae found that most American regard home ownership as more sensible in the buying vs renting debate.

Now is a great time to buy a home.

Help I’m Afraid to Buy a Home!

Help I'm Afraid to Buy a Home!

Buying a home can be a stressful and scary process, especially for a first time home buyer. Just think about it, your home is typically the largest financial investment you will ever make so why wouldn't people be afraid to buy a home. At San Antonio Texas New Homes for Sale we understand you might be afraid to buy a home that is why we strive to make the home buying process fun and easy! We are knowledgeable and experienced in the real estate industry and local market. We provide our buyers with a wealth of information and guide them through the home buying process so they can make educated decisions along the way.

 

Here are 3 Reasons Why People are Afraid to Buy a Home:

  1. People are afraid to buy a home because home prices may fall even more! That is always a possibility. Of course there is the possibility that prices could go up as well. Just like when you purchase a stock the value may go up and down over the period of time that you own it. Set reasonable expectations and realize that real estate is a long term investment so don't plan on selling and making a profit in just a few years. Right now with the low interest rates even if you spend a few thousand dollars more on a home you might actually get a better deal if you buy now.
  2. People are afraid to buy a home because with maintenance costs they think owning a home will cost more than renting. Everything in life requires maintenance and usually at a cost, a home is no different. Typically as a renter any maintenance costs that your landlord would have will eventually lead to an increase in your rent. As a renter you are missing out on a lot of tax advantages of a home owner.
  3. People are afraid to buy a home because they are afraid to spend all my savings on a down payment & closing costs. There are a lot of loan programs out there that will assist with a down payment. There are a lot of sellers, particularly builders that are paying closing costs. Look here for more information on homes with seller paid closing costs .
