Net Rent Cost = Sum of Monthly Rents + Insurance
Net Buy Cost = Mortgage Payments + Tax + Maintenance − Equity Gained
Equity = Future Home Value − Remaining Mortgage Balance
Net Buy Cost = Mortgage Payments + Tax + Maintenance − Equity Gained
Equity = Future Home Value − Remaining Mortgage Balance
The rent vs. buy decision depends heavily on how long you plan to stay in the home. Generally, if you plan to stay fewer than 3–5 years, renting is often more cost-effective due to transaction costs (closing costs, real estate agent fees). Beyond 5–7 years, buying typically wins as equity accumulates. Read more at NYT Rent vs. Buy Calculator.
