14. Zillow: Buying a Home Beats Renting After 2 Years

Zillow's break-even horizon analysis came to an interesting conclusion: in half of U.S. metros, buying a home is a better financial decision than renting for buyers intending to stay in their home at
least two years. The company’s analysis includes all costs associated with buying versus renting, including upfront payments, closing costs, anticipated monthly rent and mortgage payments, taxes,
utilities, maintenance, and renovation costs.
The group also takes into account different asset streams associated with different housing situations. For example, a buyer's home equity is factored into the final figure, while a renter's ability to
invest some of the money they would have spent on a purchase is factored into the final figure for comparison.
"Rents keep rising, and mortgage interest rates remain very low, which is helping to skew the rent vs. buy decision toward buying for those who can afford it. Many renters may ask themselves why
renew a lease, when you can break even on the same home in less time in many areas," said Zillow Chief Economist Dr. Stan Humphries.
"However, some renters still have to overcome significant hurdles before they can pull the trigger on homeownership. For those renters who can't qualify for a mortgage or aren't able to save
enough for a down payment on a house, renting can be a more flexible, and often far less frustrating option," Humphries added.
Metros with some of the shortest break-even times include Riverside, California (less than 1 year); Orlando, Florida (1 year); Tampa, Florida (1.1 years); and Miami-Fort Lauderdale, Florida (1.2
years).
Large metros with the longest break-even time include Washington, D.C. (4.2 years); Boston, Massachusetts (4 years); Phoenix, Arizona (3.3 years); San Diego, California (3.2 years); and both
Minneapolis, Minnesota and Baltimore, Maryland (3.1 years).

4. Tax Deduction/Build Wealth
16. Have you ever wondered what the real differences are between renting and owning a home? The
average Americans’ motivationsrange from the financial perks of homeownership, to a desire for a
stable community, to the hope of creating a uniqueatmosphere for their family.
Not exactly sure what those financial benefits are? Takea look below:
1) Home owners build their own equity, not their landlord’s. When you make a rent
payment, you put real-estate equity in your landlord’s pocket. However, when you make a mortgage
payment, builds equity for you as well as financial stability and longevity, meaning you get to reap
the benefits someday if you decide to move.
2) Home owners with a Fixed Rate Mortgage pay the same amount per month for
their home. As a renter, you and your landlord make short term lease agreementsthat often result
in increased cost of rent when it comes time for renewal.
3) Home owners get an income tax deduction for the amount paid towards property
taxes and interest. When you rent, you still help pay for interest and property taxes, but your
landlord gets the tax break, not you.
4) Home owners tend to have approximately 30 times more in net worth than
renters.Take a look below at the findings from a 2012 study conducted by the Federal Reserve.
That’s a huge difference!
