Renting vs. Buying Your Home

Renting versus Buying

A lot of people struggle with whether they should rent or buy. It is a difficult decision that takes in many different variables. There are many things to consider including how long you plan on being at the property, your health, and your employment/ income situation.  We have agents that can help you with your rental or sale and can help you decide what is best for you.

Advantages of Buying
Control over decorating
Pride of ownership
Equity
Tax benefits
Long term appreciation
Stable mortgage payment

Advantage of Renting
Less commitment
No repairs
No maintenance
