Is Buying a Home Still Cheaper Than Renting?


Even with a rise in the average home cost of 7% in the last year, it is still cheaper to purchase than rent. Just how much cheaper? If you were to stay in a residence for 7 years, the cost to own it is on average 44% cheaper than it would be to rent the same residence. There are a lot of calculations that go into that average, but that is quite the savings!
