Key Considerations

• This analysis assumes you invest the down payment difference when renting

• Buying provides stability but reduces liquidity and mobility

• Consider local market conditions and personal financial situation

• Factor in tax benefits of homeownership (mortgage interest deduction)

• Long-term outlook: buying typically benefits those staying 5+ years
