Is It Better To Rent or Buy a Home Today?

A study shows that 70% of prospective buyers fear the long-term consequences of renting. And here’s why.
Rent usually rises over time and that can make it harder to save up to buy a home. But when you buy, you can stabilize your housing expenses and grow your net worth as home values rise.
While renting may be the less expensive option in some markets, it can’t match the long-term benefits of homeownership. What’s your #1 reason for wanting to buy?
