Renting VS Buying Calculator
As housing markets continue to grow more competitive in major cities across the U.S., more young adults are opting to rent rather than buy. Our rent vs. buy calculator will help you determine whether renting is a better deal than buying—and vice versa. The decision depends on many factors, including the time you expect to stay in your new home, rent and home appreciation rates, the rate you earn on savings, taxes, and maintenance costs.
