US Housing Market Is Moving into 'Buy Territory'! In some locations renting is cheaper than owning (real estate is local) but the swing is toward owning. In our local market - owning is the key. Paying your landlord's mortgage is not the road to wealth. Most of us have heard the term "building a nest egg" and certainly investing in the roof over your head is a great way to do that. You have to live someplace and tha place is best - for many reasons - when it is your own! Five years from now you may ask yourself the "why" question. "Why didn't I buy then because now rents are higher and it is five years later" or "why didn't I buy when I was five years younger"? Instead, why not look back five years from now and say "I am really glad I did that". Try it. Call me or your favorite REALTOR. In the meantime, checkout today's article
