Today we are excited to talk about whether it makes more sense to buy or rent in today’s South Orange County market. First, let’s talk about renting.

If you’re currently renting a home, you’re probably paying a decent amount in rent. Let’s just say you are paying around $2,000 a month and have been renting for 3 years. At this point, you have spend $72,000 on rent! You could take that same money and use it as a down payment to purchase a home.

There are a ton of benefits to being a homeowner that you just don’t get as a renter. The first, and most obvious, are tax benefits. Homeowners can write off their property taxes, as well as their mortgage interest. A mortgage is like a forced savings account. Instead of paying your landlord’s mortgage by renting, you are paying your own by buying. It’s wonderful to build your own piggy bank in your house.

Homeownership is also a defense against inflation. Owning real estate is better than holding cash, because you don’t have that market risk of rent increasing, and you know exactly what your payment will be for the next 10, 15 or 30 years.

Don’t get caught up in a renter’s trap, where you haven’t been saving and are constantly renting. We don’t want that to happen to you. If you’re interested in more information or want to talk about why owning a home is so smart, give us a call or send us an email. We’d love to hear from you!
