VERY GOOD REASONS TO BUY VERSUS RENTING:
Marry the House, Date the Rate: Remind buyers that a mortgage rate is temporary, but the purchase price is permanent. If they wait for interest rates to drop, a wave of sidelined buyers will rush back into the market, driving home prices up through bidding wars. Buying now allows them to lock in today's purchase price and safely refinance the rate later when the market shifts.
The Infinite Rent Hike: A fixed-rate mortgage ensures that the principal and interest payments remain perfectly stable for 30 years. Conversely, rent prices climb nearly every single year due to localized inflation.
Landlord's Mortgage vs. Yours: Every time a tenant writes a rent check, they are paying a mortgage—it just happens to be their landlord's mortgage. They are actively building someone else's net worth instead of deposit-saving into their own real estate equity.
